Research

Alpha-1 antitrypsin mitigates the inhibition of airway epithelial cell repair by neutrophil elastase

Free NE activity is deleterious for epithelial homeostasis and support the hypothesis that proteases in the airway contribute to CF structural lung disease

Research

Focused transcription from the human CR2/CD21 core promoter is regulated by synergistic activity of TATA and Initiator elements in mature B cells

Mature B cells, CR2/CD21 transcription proceeds from a focused TSS regulated by a non-consensus TATA box, an initiator element and downstream promoter element

Research

Evolutionary genomics of epidemic visceral leishmaniasis in the Indian subcontinent

Our results reveal the complexity of Leishmania donovani evolution in the Indian subcontinent in response to drug treatment

Research

Investigating facial phenotype in autism spectrum conditions: The importance of a hypothesis driven approach

The identification of differences in the facial phenotype of individuals with ASC may contribute to efforts to promote early identification of the condition and help elucidate etiological pathways.

Research

Use of the ketogenic diet to manage refractory epilepsy in CDKL5 disorder

In view of its side effect profile, ketogenic diet (KD) administration should be supervised by a pediatric neurologist and specialist dietician.

Research

Relationship between early motor milestones and severity of restricted and repetitive behaviors in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder

This study provides the first evidence for the association between restricted and repetitive behaviors and age of attainment of early motor milestones.

Research

Repeat pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in Indigenous Australian adults is associated with decreased immune responsiveness

These findings highlight the critical need to evaluate the efficacy of future pneumococcal vaccine programs in the Australian Indigenous populations that recommend repeated doses of 23vPPV.

Research

Randomized controlled trial of early regular egg intake to prevent egg allergy

We aimed to determine whether regular consumption of egg protein from 4-6 month old reduced the risk of IgE-mediated egg allergy in infants without eczema.

Research

Repeated vaccination does not appear to impact upon influenza vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization with confirmed influenza

These findings reinforce current recommendations for annual influenza vaccination, particularly those at greatest risk of influenza disease.

Research

The effects of electronic cigarette aerosol exposure on inflammation and lung function in mice

This study shows, for the first time, that exposure to e-cigarette aerosol during adolescence and early adulthood is not harmless to the lungs and can result in significant impairments in lung function.
