Ageing and age-related diseases share some basic mechanistic pillars that largely
converge on inflammation. During ageing, chronic, sterile, low-grade inflammation—called …

The incidence of allergic diseases continues to rise. Cross-sectional and longitudinal
studies have indicated that allergic diseases occur in a time-based order: from atopic …

Asthma is one of the most common respiratory disease that affects both children and adults
worldwide, with diverse phenotypes and underlying pathogenetic mechanisms poorly …

Asthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis (AD) are interrelated clinical phenotypes that partly
overlap in the human interactome. The concept of “one‐airway‐one‐disease,” coined over …

Respiratory viral infections are the most important triggers of asthma exacerbations.
Rhinovirus (RV), the common cold virus, is clearly the most prevalent pathogen constantly …

The nasal cellular epigenome may serve as biomarker of airway disease and environmental
response. Here we collect nasal swabs from the anterior nares of 547 children (mean-age …

Asthma is a complex and heterogeneous chronic inflammatory disease of the airways.
Alongside environmental factors, asthma susceptibility is strongly influenced by genetics …

Background Epigenetic mechanisms, including methylation, can contribute to childhood
asthma. Identifying DNA methylation profiles in asthmatic patients can inform disease …

Background Epigenetic mechanisms could alter the airway epithelial barrier and ultimately
lead to atopic diseases such as asthma. We aimed to identify DNA methylation profiles that …

Background: Prenatal exposure to air pollution has been associated with childhood
respiratory disease and other adverse outcomes. Epigenetics is a suggested link between …
