NHMRC funding awarded to support child health research

The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers have been awarded more than $10 million in research funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).

Healthy lungs, healthy life

The lungs are one of the last organs in the body to develop as a baby grows. They're also one of the most important.

Switch on the immune system early

Findings by Professor Pat Holt revealed researchers had been heading down the wrong path in their battle strategy against respiratory allergy and asthma.

Characteristics associated with clinical severity and inflammatory phenotype of naturally occurring virus-induced exacerbations of asthma in adults

Type 2 inflammation is present in patients during virus-induced asthma exacerbations, to the same degree as non-viral exacerbations

Wadjuk Nyungar man Walter McGuire talks about the importance of air quality to our health.

Identification of epithelial phospholipase A2 receptor 1 as a potential target in asthma

PLA2R1 is increased in the airway epithelium in asthma, and serves as a regulator of airway hyperresponsiveness, airway permeability, antigen sensitization, and airway inflammation

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.
