Respiratory disease in cattle is a significant global concern, yet current diagnostic methods are limited, and there is a lack of crush-side tests for detecting active disease. To address this gap, we propose utilizing electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a non-invasive imaging technique that provides real-time visualization of lung ventilation dynamics.
This 14-color, 13-antibody optimized multicolor immunofluorescence panel (OMIP) was designed for deep profiling of neutrophil subsets in various types of human samples to contextualize neutrophil plasticity in a range of healthy and diseased states. Markers present in the OMIP allow the profiling of neutrophil subsets associated with ontogeny, migration, phagocytosis capacity, granule release, and immune modulation.
Heart failure (HF) is the end stage of most cardiovascular diseases and remains a significant health problem globally. We aimed to assess whether patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤45% had alterations in both the gut microbiome profile and production of associated metabolites when compared to a healthy cohort.
Given the rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, alternative treatments are needed. Anti-pseudomonal phage therapy shows promise, but its clinical application is limited due to the development of resistance and a lack of biofilm penetration.
Scientists at The Kids Research Institute Australia are taking their fight against antibiotic- resistant superbugs to the Goldfields working alongside local Indigenous communities and councils.
Rising carbon dioxide levels are being detected within the human body, with new research warning a key blood marker for the gas could near its healthy limit within decades if current trends continue.
Dr Renee Ng, a microbiologist specialising in bacteriophage therapy – an alternative to antibiotics to fight antimicrobial resistance – will travel to the world’s premier conference on viruses, bringing new ideas, connections and expertise back to Perth.
Five The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers and a popular Institute-led science festival for kids have been named as finalists in the 2024 Premier’s Science Awards.
A The Kids Research Institute Australia spin-off company, Inspiring Holdings Pty Ltd (Inspiring), has been announced as winner of the Wesfarmers Wellbeing Platinum Award in the prestigious WA Innovator of the Year awards for their novel Universal Spacer System – a device which improves the delivery of inhaled dru
Two researchers focused on improving outcomes for children with chronic lung disease and averting suicide contagion and suicide clusters in young people have won prestigious Investigator Grants from the National Health and Medical Research Council.
