Decreased occurrence of ketoacidosis and preservation of beta cell function in relatives screened and monitored for type 1 diabetes in Australia and New ZealandIslet autoantibody screening of infants and young children in the Northern Hemisphere, together with semi-annual metabolic monitoring, is associated with a lower risk of ketoacidosis (DKA) and improved glucose control after diagnosis of clinical (stage 3) type 1 diabetes (T1D). We aimed to determine if similar benefits applied to older Australians and New Zealanders monitored less rigorously.
Research
Airway function in infancy is linked to airflow measurements and respiratory symptoms from childhood into adulthoodLung airflow measurements track from birth into early adulthood, suggesting a permanent and stable airway framework is laid down in the antenatal period

Development and Validation of a Multifactor Mindfulness Scale in Youth: The Comprehensive Inventory of Mindfulness Experiences-Adolescents (CHIME-A)This study aimed to investigate whether multifactor scales of mindfulness can be used in adolescents.

ApoB48-Lipoproteins Are Associated with Cardiometabolic Risk in AdolescentsAdolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have increased incidence of cardiometabolic risk factors including dyslipidemia. Atherogenic apolipoprotein (apo) B-lipoprotein remnants are associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
We rely on our fundraisers enormously. Not only are they out there raising money to help fund our research into children’s health, they’re raising awareness within the community about the broad scope of work we do. They are helping to create hope for children and their families. Want to get involved?

Profiling epithelial viral receptor expression in amniotic membrane and nasal epithelial cells at birthChildren with wheeze and asthma present with airway epithelial vulnerabilities, such as impaired responses to viral infection. It is postulated that the in utero environment may contribute to the development of airway epithelial vulnerabilities.
Strengthening the capacity of Aboriginal children, families and communities

Cystic fibrosis clinical isolates of aspergillus fumigatus induce similar muco-inflammatory responses in primary airway epithelial cellsAspergillus is increasingly associated with lung inflammation and mucus plugging in early cystic fibrosis disease during which conidia burden is low and strains appear to be highly diverse. It is unknown whether clinical Aspergillus strains vary in their capacity to induce epithelial inflammation and mucus production.

Cholera risk in Lusaka: A geospatial analysis to inform improved water and sanitation provisionUrbanization combined with climate change are exacerbating water scarcity for an increasing number of the world’s emerging cities. Water and sanitation infrastructure, which in the first place was largely built to cater only to a small subsector of developing city populations, is increasingly coming under excessive strain.
Research
Acquired resistance during adoptive cell therapy by transcriptional silencing of immunogenic antigensThese findings suggest that tumor cells employ multiple epigenetic and genetic mechanisms to evade immune control
