Volunteers needed for world-first trial to prevent asthma

Australian scientists have today launched a world first research trial into a treatment that could prevent asthma in high risk children.

Chance to prevent asthma missed

Two Australian scientists are spearheading an international campaign that's challenging the way asthma drugs are developed and tested.

Reducing the asthma burden: generous grant secured to develop world-first treatment

Researchers developing a world-first treatment that targets an underlying cause of asthma have secured a $499,640 grant from the Future Health, Research and Innovation Fund – Innovation Seed Fund.

Census data reveals stark gap in asthma risk for inner and outer city kids

Children who live in the outer suburbs of Australia’s four biggest cities are twice as likely to have asthma as those living in inner city areas, according to a new study based on health data captured in the last Australian Census.

WA researchers lead global centre to eliminate childhood asthma

An ambitious project that could stop children developing asthma is the centrepiece of a new world-class respiratory research centre launched in Perth.

Antibacterial antibody responses associated with the development of asthma in house dust mite-sensitised and non-sensitised children

We aimed to measure the antibody development to 2 bacteria in a birth cohort at high risk of allergic disease, and to assess which responses are asthma-linked.

Sensitizing and Th2 Adjuvant Activity of Cysteine Protease Allergens

Here, we report on a model that does not use Th2-skewing adjuvants and yet achieves sensitization solely via the nasal mucosa.

Symptomatic viral infection is associated with impaired response to treatment in children with acute asthma

The objective of this study was to examine the influence of viral respiratory infection (VRI) on treatment response in acute asthma in children.

Interferon regulatory factor 7 is a major hub connecting interferon-mediated responses in virus-induced asthma exacerbations in vivo

The objective of this study was to elucidate the molecular networks that underpin virus-induced exacerbations in asthmatic children in vivo.
