Restricted aeroallergen access to airway mucosal dendritic cells in vivo limits allergen-specific

Chronic innocuous aeroallergen exposure attenuates CD4+ T cell-mediated airways hyperresponsiveness in mice; however, the mechanism(s) remain unclear

CD4 allergen tetramers

The introduction of class II tetramers for identifying antigen-binding CD41 cells has lagged behind the use of class I tetramers because of difficulties...

Bronchial brushings for investigating airway inflammation and remodelling

Asthma is the commonest medical cause for hospital admission for children in Australia, affects more than 300 million people worldwide, and is incurable...

Responsiveness of the human airway in vitro during deep inspiration and tidal oscillation

In healthy individuals, deep inspiration produces bronchodilation and reduced airway responsiveness, which may be a response of the airway wall to mechanical...

Influence of secular trends and sample size on reference equations for lung function tests

The aim of our study was to determine the contribution of secular trends and sample size to lung function reference equations, and establish the number...

Infection and the development of allergic disease

An improved understanding of the roles of protein kinases in intracellular signalling and disease progression has driven significant advances in protein...

Identifying pediatric lung disease: A comparison of forced oscillation technique outcomes

These findings suggest the utility of specific FOT outcomes is dependent on the respiratory disease being assessed

Insights into respiratory disease through bioinformatics

Here, we review the basic concepts in bioinformatics and genomic data analysis and illustrate the application of these tools to further our understanding of lung diseases
