Living with lung disease: experimental models to assess the long-term effects of prematurity

Laboratory models provide an important tool in helping to understand the cellular and molecular drivers of respiratory disease. Many animal models exist that model the neonatal outcomes of preterm birth.

FEF25–75% trajectories from age 7 to 53 years, associations with childhood and parental preconception factors, and midlife COPD risk: a prospective cohort study

Existing trajectory studies have emphasised large-airway indices, but chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) might originate in smaller airways. This study aimed to investigate mid-to-small-airway function trajectories, their associated factors, and COPD risk.

Research into chronic lung disease in Indigenous children and a novel RSV treatment boosted thanks to WACRF grants

Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre researchers will use almost $1.2 million in WA Child Research Fund grants to determine why Indigenous children develop bronchiectasis at such high rates after contracting bronchiolitis, and to test a promising novel treatment for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
