The environmental soot and carbon blacks (CBs) cause many diseases in humans, but their
underlying mechanisms of toxicity are still poorly understood. Both are formed after the …

Asthma is a complex trait, often associated with atopy. The genetic contribution has been
evidenced by familial occurrence. Genome-wide association studies allowed for associating …

We previously showed that both high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) and natural killer (NK)
cells contribute to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced persistent airway inflammation …

Background: A variety of innate subsets of lymphoid cells such as natural killer (NK) cells,
several populations of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), and mucosal-associated invariant T …

Although fungi are pervasive in many environments, few cause disease in humans. Of these,
Aspergillus fumigatus is particularly well suited to be a pathogen of the human lung. Its …

RSV can lead to persistent airway inflammation and AHR and is intimately associated with
childhood recurrent wheezing and asthma, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear …

Objective To compare the serum glycerophospholipid levels in the inflammatory subtypes of
asthma by using targeted metabolomic analysis. Methods Demographic and clinical data …

Asthma poses a major public health burden. While existing asthma drugs manage
symptoms for many, some patients remain resistant. The lack of a cure, especially for severe …

Purpose The aim of this study is to clarify the changes of peripheral CD3− CD56+ CD16+
NK cells and their correlation with Th1/Th2 immunity profiles in asthma during the phase of …

Background Chronic HIV infection is known to trigger a population redistribution and
alteration in the functional capacity of natural killer (NK) cells. Because of improved …
