Australian scientists have today launched a world first research trial into a treatment that could prevent asthma in high risk children.
Two Australian scientists are spearheading an international campaign that's challenging the way asthma drugs are developed and tested.
With the emergence of allergic and autoimmune diseases in populations that have started to transit to a western lifestyle, there has been an increasing...

The severity of allergic diseases may be modified by vitamin D. However, the immune pathways modulated by the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.
