Atopic asthma, which is at its highest prevalence during childhood/young adulthood, represents the main focus of this review.
Current infant vaccination against pertussis in North America and Australia requires three doses of vaccines including diphtheria, tetanus and acellular...
Early immunological influences on asthma development: opportunities for early intervention
The developing immune system and allergy
Early aberrant antibody responses, aeroallergen sensitised people, subclinical bacterial infection
Research question: Are asthma and allergies more common in adolescents conceived with assisted reproductive technologies (ART) compared with adolescents conceived without?
Results from recent clinical studies suggest potential efficacy of immune training (IT)-based approaches for protection against severe lower respiratory tract infections in infants, but underlying mechanisms are unclear.
The immunological changes underpinning acquisition of remission (also called sustained unresponsiveness) following food immunotherapy remain poorly defined. Limited access to effective therapies and biosamples from treatment responders has prevented progress. Probiotic peanut oral immunotherapy is highly effective at inducing remission, providing an opportunity to investigate immune changes.
An improved understanding of the roles of protein kinases in intracellular signalling and disease progression has driven significant advances in protein...
Pulmonary function measures reflect respiratory health and are used in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
