Decreased fibronectin production significantly contributes to dysregulated repair of asthmatic epithelium

In human asthma, and experimental allergic airways disease in mice, antigen-presenting cells and CD4(+) effector cells at the airway mucosa orchestrate, and CD4

Interactions between innate and adaptive immunity in asthma pathogenesis: new perspectives from studies on acute exacerbations

Atopic asthma, which is at its highest prevalence during childhood/young adulthood, represents the main focus of this review.

Association between socioeconomic status and the development of asthma: analyses of income trajectories

Using data on 2868 children born in the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study, we examined the association between changes in family...

The transient value of classifying preschool wheeze into episodic viral wheeze and multiple trigger wheeze

A recently proposed method for classifying preschool wheeze is to describe it as either episodic (viral) wheeze or multiple trigger wheeze.

Early immunological influences on asthma development: opportunities for early intervention

Early immunological influences on asthma development: opportunities for early intervention

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

Investigations into the role of ST2 in acute asthma in children

This study investigated the potential role of ST2 in children with acute asthma.

Respiratory Environmental Health

The Respiratory Environmental Health team conducts research in early life determinants of lung growth and development, respiratory environmental health, and mechanisms of airway dysfunction in asthma and other respiratory disease.

Allergic diseases through precision medicine

Allergic diseases are rising worldwide, especially in childhood, and their clinical diversity increasingly exposes the limits of traditional phenotype-based classifications. Genetic susceptibility, environmental exposures, epithelial barrier biology, and immune pathways interact to shape highly variable disease trajectories and treatment responses. In this context, precision medicine is no longer only an aspirational concept, but a practical effort to define meaningful endotypes, identify clinically useful biomarkers, and connect biological insight to prevention and care.
