Interleukin-10 is a key immunomodulatory cytokine the principal function of which is to limit the magnitude of immune response.
There is increasing evidence that the functional state of the immune system at birth is predictive of the kinetics of immune maturation in early infancy.
Atopy and asthma are commonly initiated during early life, and there is increasing interest in the development of preventive treatments for at-risk children.
Anti-viral innate immune responses may be impaired in asthma, although the mechanisms are not well understood.
Evidence into the role of TGF-β1 in airway epithelial repair in asthma is still controversial. This study tested the hypothesis that the reduced TGF-β1 levels previously observed in paediatric asthmatic airway epithelial cells directly contribute to the dysregulated repair seen in these cells.
The hearts of everyone at The Kids go out to the family and friends of Lachlan Hernaman, a long-term participant in lung health research who died suddenly on April 30.
Findings provide further proof of concept that pharmacological targeting of airway smooth muscle thickness will be beneficial and may be facilitated by azithromycin
