Integration of genetics and miRNA-target gene network identified disease biology implicated in tissue specificity

Our result highlighted that miRNA-target gene network contributes to human disease genetics in a cell type-specific manner

Investigation of group A Streptococcus immune responses in an endemic setting, with a particular focus on J8

We analysed the stimulation of J8 antibodies in response to infection, and the role of existing J8 antibodies in protection against subsequent infection

Maternal smoking and low family income during pregnancy as predictors of the relationship between depression and adiposity in young adults

We aimed to investigate the influence of antenatal and postnatal factors on the increasing incidence of overweight/obesity and mental health disorders in young adults

IgE and T-cell responses to house dust mite allergen components

Recent studies with synthetic peptides representing allergens and non-allergenic house dust mite proteins now offer new research avenues on HDM induced immune responses

Respiratory function in healthy Emirati children using forced oscillations

Forced oscillation technique measurements were feasible in Emirati school-children. New forced oscillation technique reference equation in Emirati children were derived.

Prediction models for the development of COPD: A systematic review

We aimed to systematically review and assess the performance of all published models that predicted development of COPD

Transcriptional landscape of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in macrophages

A comprehensive in depth gene expression/regulation profile in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macrophages

Prenatal and perinatal risks for late language emergence in a population-level sample of twins at age 2

This study investigated the extent to which prenatal and perinatal risk factors were associated with LLE in a population-level sample of twins at age 2 without overt disability.

Asthma is responsible for considerable global morbidity and health-care costs. Substantial progress was made against key outcomes such as hospital admissions with asthma and mortality in the 1990s and early 2000s, but little improvement has been observed

We aim to provide our view of where we are and where we need to go as a community of clinicians and researchers who tackle the public health problem of asthma.

Prospective cohort study of childhood behaviour problems and adolescent sexual risk-taking: Gender matters

This study sought to determine relationships, by gender, between childhood behaviour problems and adolescent risky sexual behaviours and substance use.
