Lung function changes in children exposed to mine fire smoke in infancy

Chronic, low-intensity air pollution exposure has been consistently associated with reduced lung function throughout childhood. However, there is limited research regarding the implications of acute, high-intensity air pollution exposure. We aimed to determine whether there were any associations between early life exposure to such an episode and lung growth trajectories.

Increased heterogeneity of airway calibre in adult rats after hypoxia-induced intrauterine growth restriction

The rat model demonstrates that intrauterine growth restriction leads to a more heterogeneous distribution of airway lumen calibre in adulthood

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

House Dust Mite Allergens: New Discoveries and Relevance to the Allergic Patient

Recent findings on house dust allergens and their contribution to knowledge that will significantly impact current and future allergy treatments are appraised

Timing of routine infant vaccinations and risk of food allergy and eczema at one year of age

There was no overall association between delayed DTaP and food allergy; however, children with delayed DTaP had less eczema and less use of eczema medication

Disruption of β-catenin/CBP signaling inhibits human airway epithelial-mesenchymal transition and repair.

The airway epithelium of both children and adults with asthma is relatively undifferentiated characterized by a significantly increased proportion of...

Lung homing T-cell generation is dependent on strength and timing of antigen delivery to lymph nodes

Inhaled allergens are known for their immediate and ongoing effects in the respiratory tract (RT).
