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

Innate affairs of allergens

Activation of receptors of the innate immune system is a critical step in the initiation of immune responses.

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...

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...

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

The aim of this study was to examine the in vitro response of isolated human airways to the dynamic mechanical stretch associated with normal breathing.

Differences in innate immune function between allergic and nonallergic children: New insights into immune ontogeny

We sought to explore whether allergic children show differences in microbial Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated responses over their first 5 years of life.

Successful establishment of primary small airway cell cultures in human lung transplantation

The study of small airway diseases such as post-transplant bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is hampered by the difficulty in assessing peripheral airway

Cystic Fibrosis Early Surveillance Program

Researchers are able to track the progress of lung disease through a comprehensive longitudinal set of biological samples, images and data archives.

Global participatory wastewater surveillance to understand mpox clade diversity in war and conflict-affected countries

War and conflict severely disrupt public health systems, compromising infectious disease surveillance in many affected regions. Mpox, a re-emerging zoonotic disease, poses a growing global threat, especially in areas where traditional monitoring is inaccessible.The mpox virus has distinct clades with varying transmission and severity.

Complete genome sequence of Burkholderia cenocepacia bacteriophage Karil-mokiny-1

Burkholderia cepacia complex causes life-threatening respiratory infections. Here, a bacteriophage with activity against B. cenocepacia was isolated from wastewater. It has a genome size of 70,144 bp and has the taxonomic classification Irusalimvirus. It has no genes associated with lysogeny, bacterial resistance, or virulence.
