Stability Considerations for Bacteriophages in Liquid Formulations Designed for Nebulization

Pulmonary bacterial infections present a significant health risk to those with chronic respiratory diseases including cystic fibrosis and chronic-obstructive pulmonary disease. With the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, novel therapeutics are desperately needed to combat the emergence of resistant superbugs.

Impaired interferon response in plasmacytoid dendritic cells from children with persistent wheeze

Impaired interferon response and allergic sensitization may contribute to virus-induced wheeze and asthma development in young children. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells play a key role in antiviral immunity as critical producers of type I interferons. 

Size-Dependent Uptake of Particles by Pulmonary Antigen-Presenting Cell Populations

The respiratory tract is an attractive target organ for novel diagnostic and therapeutic applications with nano-sized carriers, but their immune effects and...

Pulmonary microRNA profiles identify involvement of Creb1 and Sec14l3 in bronchial epithelial changes in allergic asthma

In this study, we aimed to use microRNAs-which are critical regulators of signaling cascades-to identify so far uncharacterized asthma pathogenesis pathways

Fine-grained Fidgety Movement Classification using Active Learning

Typically developing infants, between the corrected age of 9-20 weeks, produce fidgety movements. These movements can be identified with the General Movement Assessment, but their identification requires trained professionals to conduct the assessment from video recordings.

Could Perth lakes hold the key to fighting antibiotic-resistant superbugs?

Perth researchers discovered a naturally occurring virus living in the city’s waterways that could potentially fight antibiotic-resistant superbugs.

Preterm birth: Born too soon for the developing airway epithelium

This review examines the consequences of preterm birth on the airway epithelium and explores the clinical relevance of currently available models

The Cardiovascular Risk Evaluation in Expectant Fathers (CARE-Dads) Study

Susan Prescott MBBS BMedSci PhD FRACP Honorary Research Fellow susan.prescott@thekids.org.au Honorary Research Fellow Susan Prescott is a Professor

The relationship between physical activity, self-regulation and cognitive school readiness in preschool children

Limited research exists on the pathways through which physical activity influences cognitive development in the early years. This study examined the direct and indirect relationships between physical activity, self-regulation, and cognitive school readiness in preschool children.

Intubation study points the way to safer surgery in babies

Perth researchers who were involved in an international study which examined two different techniques used to intubate newborns and young babies during surgery expect the findings to lead to a change in global practice.
