Research

Accumulation mode particles and LPS exposure induce TLR-4 dependent and independent inflammatory responses in the lung

We aimed to delineate the effects of LPS and AMP on airway inflammation, and potential contribution to airway disease by measuring airway inflammatory responses

Research

A genome-by-environment interaction classifier for precision medicine: personal transcriptome response to rhinovirus identifies children prone to asthma exacerbations

To introduce a disease prognosis framework enabled by a robust classification scheme derived from patient-specific transcriptomic response to stimulation.

Research

Pulmonary delivery of virosome-bound antigen enhances antigen-specific CD4+ T cell proliferation compared to liposome-bound or soluble antigen

Pulmonary administration of biomimetic nanoparticles loaded with antigen may represent an effective strategy to directly modulate adaptive immune responses

Research

Vitamin D over the first decade and susceptibility to childhood allergy and asthma

We aimed to research relationships between 25(OH)D levels from birth to 10 y/o and susceptibility to allergic sensitization, respiratory issues and asthma.

Research

Clinical characteristics of eosinophilic asthma exacerbations

Eosinophilic asthma exacerbations may be clinically more severe than non-eosinophilic exacerbation

Research

Characteristics associated with clinical severity and inflammatory phenotype of naturally occurring virus-induced exacerbations of asthma in adults

Type 2 inflammation is present in patients during virus-induced asthma exacerbations, to the same degree as non-viral exacerbations

Research

Identification of epithelial phospholipase A2 receptor 1 as a potential target in asthma

PLA2R1 is increased in the airway epithelium in asthma, and serves as a regulator of airway hyperresponsiveness, airway permeability, antigen sensitization, and airway inflammation

Research

Impaired airway epithelial cell responses from children with asthma to rhinoviral infection

Human rhinovirus infection delays repair and inhibits apoptotic processes in epithelial cells from non-asthmatic and asthmatic children

Research

The genetic and epigenetic landscapes of the epithelium in asthma

Genetic factors in airway epithelial cells that are functionally associated with asthma pathogenesis

Research

Probiotics for treatment and primary prevention of allergic diseases and asthma: looking back and moving forward

Review treatment and primary prevention studies, recent meta-analyses, and discuss the current understanding of the role of probiotics in this context
