Decreased fibronectin production significantly contributes to dysregulated repair of asthmatic epitheliumIn human asthma, and experimental allergic airways disease in mice, antigen-presenting cells and CD4(+) effector cells at the airway mucosa orchestrate, and CD4

Long-term derangement of antigen presenting cell populations in the respiratory tract following Influenza A infectionThis project investigates how different populations of cells within the respiratory tract immune system are altered during a viral infection.

Innate epithelial and functional differences in airway epithelium of children with acute wheezeEarly childhood wheeze is a major risk factor for asthma. However, not all children who wheeze will develop the disease. The airway epithelium has been shown to be involved in asthma pathogenesis. Despite this, the airway epithelium of children with acute wheeze remains poorly characterized.

Whole-cell pertussis vaccine in early infancy for the prevention of allergyThis is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives were to assess the efficacy and safety of whole‐cell pertussis (wP) vaccinations in comparison to acellular pertussis (aP) vaccinations in early infancy for the prevention of atopic diseases in children.

Blocking Notch3 Signaling Abolishes MUC5AC Production in Airway Epithelial Cells from AsthmaticsWe demonstrate that NOTCH3 is a regulator of MUC5AC production

Airway Interleukin-33 and type 2 cytokines in adult patients with acute asthmaAirway interleukin-33 is associated with type-2 cytokines in naturally occurring asthma exacerbations in adults

A genome-by-environment interaction classifier for precision medicine: personal transcriptome response to rhinovirus identifies children prone to asthma exacerbationsTo introduce a disease prognosis framework enabled by a robust classification scheme derived from patient-specific transcriptomic response to stimulation.

Asthma is responsible for considerable global morbidity and health-care costs. Substantial progress was made against key outcomes such as hospital admissions with asthma and mortality in the 1990s and early 2000s, but little improvement has been observedWe aim to provide our view of where we are and where we need to go as a community of clinicians and researchers who tackle the public health problem of asthma.
