Biodiesel is promoted as a sustainable replacement for commercial diesel. Biodiesel fuel and exhaust properties change depending on the base feedstock oil/fat used during creation. The aims of this study were, for the first time, to compare the exhaust exposure health impacts of a wide range of biodiesels made from different feedstocks and relate these effects with the corresponding exhaust characteristics.

A lung function study carried out by Dr Shannon Simpson provided the most comprehensive follow-up of very pre-term children of any study so far carried out on the lung health of this vulnerable group.

Our data illustrate that rhinovirus infection is capable of infecting upper and lower airway epithelial cells, driving cell death and inflammation

Several lipid biomarkers of early cystic fibrosis lung disease were identified, which point toward potential disease monitoring and therapeutic approaches

This review examines the consequences of preterm birth on the airway epithelium and explores the clinical relevance of currently available models

The findings from this study show that in children with asthma this protective barrier is different from children without asthma.

Strep A causes over 775 million infections each year world-wide, including over 615 million cases of tonsil infection (Strep throat).

We have been studying the importance of the epithelial cells lining the airways in the nose and lungs.
