Immunoinflammatory responses to febrile lower respiratory infections in infants display uniquely complex/intense transcriptomic profilesthe association between infant LRTI and risk for persistent wheeze/asthma in this cohort is generally stronger for fLRTIs than for other infection categories

Systems biology and big data in asthma and allergy: recent discoveries and emerging challengesWe describe recent "omic"-level findings, and examine how these findings have been systematically integrated to generate further insight

Streptococcus pneumoniae colonization of the nasopharynx is associated with increased severity during respiratory syncytial virus infection in young childrenThe present study aimed to clarify the effect of viral and bacterial co-detections on disease severity during paediatric acute respiratory infection (ARI).

Epigenome-wide analysis links SMAD3 methylation at birth to asthma in children of asthmatic mothersWe sought to assess whether the trajectory to asthma begins already at birth and whether epigenetic mechanisms, contribute to asthma inception.
