Visualisation of Multiple Tight Junctional Complexes in Human Airway Epithelial Cells

Apically located tight junctions in airway epithelium perform a fundamental role in controlling macromolecule migration through paracellular spaces.

Assessment of p.Phe508del-CFTR functional restoration in pediatric primary cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells

This study assessed an alternative approach, using a small scale halide assay that can be adapted for a personalized high throughput setting to analyze CFTR function of pAEC.

Developmental vulnerabilities in children of chronically ill parents: A population-based linked data study

Maternal chronic illness is associated with an increased risk of poor developmental outcomes for children, particularly daughters

Research

An exposome perspective: Early-life events and immune development in a changing world

Here we review the historical origins of exposome research and define a new concept, the metaexposome

Research

Cytokine levels and associations with symptom severity in male and female children with autism spectrum disorder

ASD's are complex, pervasive and heterogeneous neurodevelopmental conditions with varying conditions, trajectories, significant male bias and unknown etiology.

Surveillance of antenatal influenza vaccination: Validity of current systems and recommendations for improvement

Although influenza vaccination is recommended during pregnancy as standard of care, limited surveillance data are available for monitoring uptake.

Research

Seasonal trivalent influenza vaccination during pregnancy and the incidence of stillbirth: Population-based retrospective cohort study

Although antenatal influenza vaccination is an important public health intervention for preventing serious infection in pregnant women and newborns, reported...

Suppression of TGF-β/SMAD signaling by an inner nuclear membrane phosphatase complex

Cytokines of the TGF-β superfamily control essential cell fate decisions via receptor regulated SMAD (R-SMAD) transcription factors. Ligand-induced R-SMAD phosphorylation in the cytosol triggers their activation and nuclear accumulation. We determine how R-SMADs are inactivated by dephosphorylation in the cell nucleus to counteract signaling by TGF-β superfamily ligands.

The overlapping global distribution of dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever

Arboviruses transmitted mainly by Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti and Ae. albopictus, including dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses, and yellow fever virus in urban settings, pose an escalating global threat. Existing risk maps, often hampered by surveillance biases, may underestimate or misrepresent the true distribution of these diseases and do not incorporate epidemiological similarities despite shared vector species.
