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

CFTR-dependent defect in alternatively-activated macrophages in cystic fibrosis

CFTR-dependent imbalance of macrophage phenotypes and functions could contribute to the exaggerated inflammatory response seen in CF lung disease

Research

PGE2 pulsing of murine bone marrow cells reduces migration of daughter monocytes/macrophages in vitro and in vivo

Our results reveal long-lasting changes to progenitor cells of monocytes/macrophages by a 2-hour dimethyl PGE2 pulse that, in turn, limits the migration of their daughter cells to chemoattractants and inflammatory mediators.

Research

Conditionally reprogrammed primary airway epithelial cells maintain morphology, lineage and disease specific functional characteristics

Here, we show that conditionally reprogrammed airway epithelial cells (CRAECs) can be established from both healthy and diseased phenotypes.

Research

The correlation between central and peripheral oxytocin concentrations: A systematic review and meta-analysis

These results indicate a coordination of central and peripheral oxytocin release after stress and after intranasal administration

Research

A longitudinal analysis of the influence of the neighborhood environment on recreational walking within the neighborhood: Results from RESIDE

evidence of the positive impact of well-connected neighborhoods and access to local parks of varying sizes on local residents’ recreational walking and health

Research

Immunisation and pregnancy - who, what, when and why?

Recommending vaccination to pregnant women is important as evidence shows they are more likely to get vaccinated if their healthcare provider advises it

Research

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations and cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents and young adults

Associations between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and cardiometabolic risk factors from adolescence to young adulthood in the Raine Study

Research

Folate status in Aboriginal people before and after mandatory fortification of flour for bread-making in Australia

The mandatory fortification of wheat flour for bread-making has increased folate status and reduced Neural Tube Defects in the Australian Aboriginal population
