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

Successful establishment of primary small airway cell cultures in human lung transplantation

The study of small airway diseases such as post-transplant bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is hampered by the difficulty in assessing peripheral airway

Defective cell migration as a mechanism of dysregulated asthmatic airway repair

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

Improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention of recurrent tonsillitis

Animal-free peptones support bacteriophage propagation for therapeutic use without altering bactericidal activity or genomic integrity

Bacteriophage (phage) propagation has traditionally relied on bacterial culture media containing animal-derived ingredients; however, safety concerns with animal-derived materials for production of phages for therapeutic use limit their acceptability. We compared animal-free and traditional media formulations, and evaluated effects on phage yield, bactericidal activity, and genomic characteristics, hypothesizing no significant differences would be observed.

Difficult but doable: Health professional perspectives of assessing clinical deterioration in children with dark-coloured skin

Observable signs of clinical deterioration may present differently in children with dark-coloured skin, leading to potential missed or delayed recognition. It is unknown how health professionals approach assessment in children with dark-coloured skin. 

Vulnerable from the first breath - epithelial dysfunction and respiratory outcomes in children
