Early life innate immune signatures of persistent food allergy

Early life innate immune dysfunction may represent a key immunological driver and predictor of persistent food allergy in childhood

Research

PI3K activation in neural stem cells drives tumorigenesis which can be ameliorated by targeting the cAMP response element binding protein

Our findings present a novel mouse model for glioma demonstrating that the PI3K pathway is important for initiation of tumorigenesis

Research

Midwives’ attitudes, beliefs and concerns about childhood vaccination: A review of the global literature

The majority of midwives supported vaccination, although a spectrum of beliefs and concerns emerged

Research

Exposure to chorioamnionitis alters the monocyte transcriptional response to the neonatal pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis

Our findings suggest that prenatal exposure to inflammation may alter the risk of sepsis in preterm infants partly by modulation of monocyte responses to pathogens

Research

Renal and Cardiovascular Risk According to Tertiles of Urinary Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio: The Adolescent Type 1 Diabetes Cardio-Renal Intervention Trial (AdDIT)

Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratios at the higher end of the normal range at the age of 10-16 years is associated with an increased risk of progression to microalbuminuria

Genome-Wide Analysis of Genetic Risk Factors for Rheumatic Heart Disease in Aboriginal Australians Provides Support for Pathogenic Molecular Mimicry

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) after group A streptococcus (GAS) infections is heritable and prevalent in Indigenous populations. Molecular mimicry between human and GAS proteins triggers proinflammatory cardiac valve-reactive T cells.
