Transcriptomic analysis of primary nasal epithelial cells reveals altered interferon signalling in preterm birth survivors at one year of age

Many survivors of preterm birth (<37 weeks gestation) have lifelong respiratory deficits, the drivers of which remain unknown. Influencers of pathophysiological outcomes are often detectable at the gene level and pinpointing these differences can help guide targeted research and interventions. This study provides the first transcriptomic analysis of primary nasal airway epithelial cells in survivors of preterm birth at approximately 1 year of age.

New study to determine if it’s safe for children born preterm to attend day care

A new study to determine if it’s safe for children who were born preterm to attend day care officially commenced this month.

Surfactant protein disorders in childhood interstitial lung disease

Surfactant, which was first identified in the 1920s, is pivotal to lower the surface tension in alveoli of the lungs and helps to lower the work of breathing and prevents atelectasis. Surfactant proteins, such as surfactant protein B and surfactant protein C, contribute to function and stability of surfactant film.

Chronic lung disease link targeted in new research study

A link between chronic lung disease and low Vitamin D levels is the focus of a new study just started by the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research.

Arsenic in drinking water linked to lung disease

The Kids research has uncovered likely mechanisms for the link between arsenic in drinking water and higher risk of developing chronic lung disease.
