Toll-like receptor 7 function is reduced in adolescents with asthma

Anti-viral innate immune responses may be impaired in asthma, although the mechanisms are not well understood.

Vector fields of risk: A new approach to the geographical representation of childhood asthma

One of the major challenges in health studies with a spatial dimension is to produce valid and meaningful geographical representations of risk.

Expression of kinin receptors on eosinophils: comparison of asthmatic patients and healthy subjects

The aims of this study were to investigate kinin receptor expression on eosinophils of asthmatic and healthy subjects

Could home-based FeNO measurements breathe new life into asthma management?

Developing a FeNO test that is affordable enough to allow daily measurements, patients will be able to access quantifiable data to assist them to monitor their asthma

Epigenome-wide meta-analysis of DNA methylation and childhood asthma

Novel loci differentially methylated in newborns represent potential biomarkers of risk of asthma by school age

Bronchodilator responsiveness in children with asthma is not influenced by spacer device selection

Spacer device was not associated with clinically important differences in lung function following bronchodilator inhalation in children with asthma

Upper Airway Cell Transcriptomics Identify a Major New Immunological Phenotype with Strong Clinical Correlates in Young Children with Acute Wheezing

Asthma exacerbations in children can be divided into IRF7hi versus IRF7lo phenotypes with associated differences in clinical phenotypes

Children with East Asian-Born Parents Have an Increased Risk of Allergy but May Not Have More Asthma in Early Childhood

Children of East Asian ancestry born in Australia have a higher burden of most allergic diseases in the first 6 years of life, whereas asthma may follow a different pattern

Fragranced consumer products: effects on asthmatic Australians

Most asthmatics would prefer workplaces, healthcare facilities, and environments that are fragrance-free, which could help reduce adverse effects

Persistent activation of interlinked type 2 airway epithelial gene networks in sputum-derived cells from aeroallergen-sensitized symptomatic asthmatics

Our findings provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms operative at baseline in the airway mucosa in atopic asthmatic with natural aeroallergen exposure
