Vitamin D deficiency causes deficits in lung function and alters lung structureThe prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is increasing and has been linked to obstructive lung diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Research
Responsiveness of the human airway in vitro during deep inspiration and tidal oscillationThe aim of this study was to examine the in vitro response of isolated human airways to the dynamic mechanical stretch associated with normal breathing.
Research
In utero cigarette smoke exposure impairs somatic and lung growth in BALB/c miceThe aim of this study was to assess whether in utero tobacco smoke exposure alone affects early-life lung growth and development. Pregnant BALB/c mice...

Differences in innate immune function between allergic and nonallergic children: New insights into immune ontogenyWe sought to explore whether allergic children show differences in microbial Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated responses over their first 5 years of life.
Research
Homology modeling and monoclonal antibody binding of the der f 7 dust mite allergenThe group 7 allergens are important allergenic specificities for mite-sensitive patients and may need to be incorporated into new diagnostic and therapeutic...
