Airway narrowing assessed by anatomical optical coherence tomography in vitro: dynamic airway wall morphology and function

Previous histological and imaging studies have shown the presence of variability in the degree of bronchoconstriction of airways sampled at different locations.

Research

Tumor eradication after cyclophosphamide depends on concurrent depletion of regulatory T cells

Tumor cell death potentially engages with the immune system. However, the efficacy of anti-tumor chemotherapy may be limited by tumor-driven...

Effects of simulated tidal and deep breathing on immature airway contraction to acetylcholine and nerve stimulation

In adults, respiratory movements, such as tidal and deep breaths, reduce airway smooth muscle force and cause bronchodilation.

Antibacterial antibody responses associated with the development of asthma in house dust mite-sensitised and non-sensitised children

We aimed to measure the antibody development to 2 bacteria in a birth cohort at high risk of allergic disease, and to assess which responses are asthma-linked.

Restricted aeroallergen access to airway mucosal dendritic cells in vivo limits allergen-specific

Chronic innocuous aeroallergen exposure attenuates CD4+ T cell-mediated airways hyperresponsiveness in mice; however, the mechanism(s) remain unclear
