Type I regulatory (Tr1) cells are defined as FOXP3-IL-10-secreting clusters of differentiation (CD4+) T cells that contribute to immune suppression and typically express the markers LAG-3 and CD49b and other co-inhibitory receptors. These cells have not been studied in detail in the context of the resolution of acute infection in the lung.

The clinical consequences of an antibiotic allergy label are detrimental, impacting health care delivery and patient outcomes. We assessed hospital inpatients with intent to offer free antibiotic allergy labeling assessment within a randomized controlled trial. We sought to determine the feasibility of establishing an adult antibiotic allergy delabeling service in a Western Australian tertiary public hospital.
Respiratory infection and wheezing illness are leading causes of hospitalisation in childhood, placing a significant burden on families and healthcare systems. However, reliably distinguishing children at risk of developing persistent disease from those likely to outgrow their symptoms remains a clinical challenge. Earlier identification would allow clinicians to focus care and resources on those most likely to benefit from long-term management, while reducing anxiety and uncertainty about the future for families.
Four outstanding researchers from the Wal-yan Centre - Professor André Schultz, Professor Stephen Stick, Rebecca Watson and Michael Beaven - have been presented with prestigious awards in acknowledgement of their research aimed at improving the lives of children with respiratory illness.
Elucidation of early life factors is critical to understand the development of allergic diseases, especially those manifesting in early life such as food allerg
Birth cohort studies provide an invaluable resource for studies of the influence of the fetal environment on health in later life.
