A marked shift in innate and adaptive immune response in chinese immigrants living in a western environment

There is a marked shift in innate and adaptive immune responses in Chinese immigrants after living in a Western environment for several years

Behavioural and neuropsychological outcomes in children exposed in utero to maternal labour epidural analgesia

Recent studies report conflicting results regarding the relationship between labour epidural analgesia (LEA) in mothers and neurodevelopmental disorders in their offspring. We evaluated behavioural and neuropsychological test scores in children of mothers who used LEA.

Mode of delivery and behavioral and neuropsychological outcomes in children at 10 years of age

Previous studies have reported that mode of delivery, particularly cesarean delivery is associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. This study evaluates behavioral and neuropsychological test scores in children based on mode of delivery.

A primary cell model of the very preterm epithelium reveals barrier defects at 1 year of age

Limited evidence suggests that airway epithelial structure and function is disrupted in very preterm infants; however, the epithelial morphology and physiology has not been well characterised following discharge from neonatal intensive care. This study aimed to characterise the nasal airway epithelium from 1-year-old survivors of very preterm birth.

Kids Easy Breathing Study Kickstarts

The Kids Easy Breathing Study kickstarts this month, with the aim of finding out how the airway surface is different between infants who develop chronic lung disease after contracting bronchiolitis compared with those who don’t.

Illuminate PitchFest passes $1 million milestone

Ten emerging researchers took to the stage for our fourth Illuminate PitchFest, where community support helped push the total raised for Illuminate Awards past $1 million.

Vitamin D and Sunlight

In a sunny country such as Australia, it’s important to identify how to achieve the right amount of sun exposure for good health. We need to be able to harness the benefits of vitamin D and sunlight while remaining protected from the proven dangers of too much UV radiation.

Wal-yan Centre welcomes new PhD scholarship awardee

The Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre this month welcomed new PhD scholarship awardee Yaqin Alziyadat, whose exciting research work will support the Centre’s vision to ensure all children have healthy lungs for life.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin mitigates the inhibition of airway epithelial cell repair by neutrophil elastase

Free NE activity is deleterious for epithelial homeostasis and support the hypothesis that proteases in the airway contribute to CF structural lung disease
