We propose that mechanical abnormalities of the airway wall acquired through disrupted fetal growth impact susceptibility to disease
The aim of our investigation was to assess the chemical composition of a range of e-liquids available in Australia, focusing on nicotine and other po…
While maternal high fat diet compromised litter survival, it also promoted somatic and lung growth (increased lung volume) in the offspring
These data provide proof of concept supporting the rationale for developing transplacental immune reprogramming approaches for primary disease preven…
Once upon a time it was infectious diseases like polio, measles or tuberculosis that most worried parents. With these threats now largely under contr…
This study demonstrates novel intrinsic differences in tight junctions gene and protein expression between airway epithelial cells of children with a…
There was a positive relationship between the thickness of the airway smooth muscle layer with airway responsiveness, which was shifted upward in the…
Apically located tight junctions in airway epithelium perform a fundamental role in controlling macromolecule migration through paracellular spaces.
Our data demonstrate changes in airway responsiveness as a result of intrauterine growth restriction that could influence susceptibility to asthma de…
Most asthmatics would prefer workplaces, healthcare facilities, and environments that are fragrance-free, which could help reduce adverse effects
