Research

Persistent and compartmentalised disruption of dendritic cell subpopulations in the lung following influenza A virus infection

Immunological homeostasis in the respiratory tract is thought to require balanced interactions between networks of dendritic cell (DC) subsets in lung...

Effect of human rhinovirus infection on airway epithelium tight junction protein disassembly and transepithelial permeability

HRV-1B infection directly alters human airway epithelial TJ expression leading to increased epithelial permeability potentially via antiviral response of IL-15

Research

Sensitizing and Th2 Adjuvant Activity of Cysteine Protease Allergens

Here, we report on a model that does not use Th2-skewing adjuvants and yet achieves sensitization solely via the nasal mucosa.

Intrauterine growth restriction affects diaphragm function in adult female and male mice

Sex and intrauterine growth restriction independently affect diaphragm contraction in adult mice without changes in structure

Research

Independent and combined effects of airway remodelling and allergy on airway responsiveness

There was a positive relationship between the thickness of the airway smooth muscle layer with airway responsiveness, which was shifted upward in the presence of allergy

Research

The effects of electronic cigarette aerosol exposure on inflammation and lung function in mice

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.
