Long-term survival after lung transplantation is hindered by the development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS).
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.
Interleukin-10 is a key immunomodulatory cytokine the principal function of which is to limit the magnitude of immune response.
Epidemiologic associations between viral lower respiratory infections (LRIs) and asthma in later childhood are well known
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.
This article looks at the clinical implications of the research into microbial exposure & protection against asthma.
This paper is an editorial comment by Professor Patrick Holt on the potential for developing early intervention strategies in children with allergies and asthma
Human rhinovirus infection delays repair and inhibits apoptotic processes in epithelial cells from non-asthmatic and asthmatic children
