The burden of bronchiectasis is disproportionately high in Aboriginal adults, with early mortality. Bronchiectasis precursors, that is, protracted bacterial bronchitis and chronic suppurative lung disease, often commence in early childhood.
Discover the stories of children whose lives have been impacted by Telethon Kids Institute research.
We employed a systems biology approach to delineate upper airway gene network patterns underlying asthma exacerbation phenotypes in children.
One in every four children will suffer from eczema and asthma, and one in every 10 will have at least one food allergy.
With up to one in four Australian children now affected by allergic diseases, the potential for the ORIGINS SYMBA Study to positively impact future lives is immense.
An improved understanding of the roles of protein kinases in intracellular signalling and disease progression has driven significant advances in protein...
To reduce peanut allergy prevalence, infant feeding guidelines now recommend introducing peanuts in an age-appropriate form (such as peanut butter) as part of complementary feeding. However, due to a lack of randomized trial evidence, most infant feeding and food allergy prevention guidelines do not include tree nuts. The aims of this trial were to determine safety and feasibility of dosage consumption recommendations for infant cashew nut spread introduction.

Rhinoviruses (RVs) can cause severe wheezing illnesses in young children and patients with asthma. Vaccine development has been hampered by the multitude of RV types with little information about cross-neutralization. We previously showed that neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses to RV-C are detected twofold to threefold more often than those to RV-A throughout childhood. Based on those findings, we hypothesized that RV-C infections are more likely to induce either cross-neutralizing or longer-lasting antibody responses compared with RV-A infections.
