Early immunological influences on asthma development: opportunities for early intervention

Research

The role of dendritic cells and regulatory T cells in the regulation of allergic asthma

Airways hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is one of the major clinical features of allergic airways disease including allergic asthma

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

Research

Prevention of Allergy/Asthma - New Strategies

This review focuses on the scientific rationale for early intervention aimed at asthma prophylaxis and discusses therapeutic approaches

Research

Distinguishing benign from pathologic TH2 immunity in atopic children

In addition to its role in blocking TH2 effector activation in the late-phase allergic response, IL-10 is a known IgG1 switch factor

Research

Airway epithelial repair in health and disease: Orchestrator or simply a player?

This review attempts to highlight migration-specific and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) aspects of repair used by epithelial cells

Research

Differential gene network analysis for the identification of asthma-associated therapeutic targets in allergen-specific T-helper memory responses

Differential network analysis of allergen-induced CD4 T cell responses can unmask covert disease-associated genes and pin point novel therapeutic targets
