Effects of UVR exposure on the gut microbiota of mice and humans

Both human and murine studies report that multiple exposures to sub-erythemal UV radiation can increase the diversity of the gut microbiome

Vitamin D metabolites are lower with active Crohn’s disease and spontaneously recover with development of remission

We aimed to characterise vitamin D metabolism in a cohort of patients with active and inactive Crohn’s disease

Elastase Exocytosis by Airway Neutrophils Associates with Early Lung Damage in Cystic Fibrosis Children

Protease elastase exocytosis by airway neutrophils occurs in all cystic fibrosis children, and its cellular measure correlates with early lung damage

Use of a primary epithelial cell screening tool to investigate phage therapy in cystic fibrosis

This study demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing pre-clinical in vitro culture models to screen therapeutic candidates

WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature: Providing a common language

Aim was to standardize the names given to the antigens (allergens) that caused IgE-mediated allergies in humans

Reticulon-1 and reduced migration toward chemoattractants by macrophages differentiated from the bone marrow of ultraviolet-irradiated and ultraviolet-chimeric mice

By using an anti-reticulon-1 Ab, a role for reticulon-1 in macrophage migration toward both CSF-1 and CCL2 was confirmed.

Broad perspectives of allergen specific immunotherapy

Allergen specific immunotherapy aims to subvert or divert immune responses to allergens to ones that do not cause immunological hypersensitivities.

Tracking of Vitamin D status from childhood to early adulthood and its association with peak bone mass

There are moderate associations between vitamin D status measured in prepuberty, adolescence, and early adulthood

Identification and characterization of a dendritic cell precursor in parenchymal lung tissue

This is the first study to describe a pulmonary precursor cell for dendritic cells in lung tissue

Are low sun exposure and/or Vitamin D risk factors for type 1 diabetes

Evidence supports that higher sun exposure and/or vitamin D sufficiency in pregnancy, or supplementation in early life, decreases type 1 diabetes risk
