We identified several novel candidate genes which warrant further analysis in cohorts matched more precisely for clinical phenotypes.
Chronic airway injury and dysregulated repair programs are evident in airway epithelium obtained from patients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome
Our data illustrate that rhinovirus infection is capable of infecting upper and lower airway epithelial cells, driving cell death and inflammation
The Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) Network has become the largest resource for reference values for routine lung function testing ever assembled.
A The Kids for Child Health Research study has uncovered a new link between vitamin D levels and asthma.
From the results of well-performed population health studies, we now have excellent data demonstrating that deficits in adult lung function may be present early in life, possibly as a result of developmental disorders, incurring a lifelong risk of obstructive airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
A lung function study carried out by Dr Shannon Simpson provided the most comprehensive follow-up of very pre-term children of any study so far carried out on the lung health of this vulnerable group.
Consumption of nitrate in drinking water has previously been associated with a range of adverse health effects, including methemoglobinemia and potentially cancer. In animal models, it has been shown to impact respiratory structure and function, however, there is a paucity of data of the effects of in utero exposure on the respiratory health of offspring.
This study shows, for the first time, that exposure to e-cigarette aerosol during adolescence and early adulthood is not harmless to the lungs and can result in significant impairments in lung function.
