Otitis media (OM; middle ear infection) is the most common reason for pre-school children to visit a doctor, be prescribed antimicrobials, or undergo surgery.

Bile signalling promotes chronic respiratory infections and antibiotic tolerance Despite aggressive antimicrobial therapy, many respiratory
Advances in our understanding of early cystic fibrosis lung disease led by the Australian Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) have also indicated the potential utility of a number of biomarkers for monitoring disease severity.
In this study, we aimed to use microRNAs-which are critical regulators of signaling cascades-to identify so far uncharacterized asthma pathogenesis pathways
