Background and Purpose Myeloid‐derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of asthma. Recent studies demonstrate that their function can be modulated by different pharmacological approaches. In this study, we focussed on the effects of systemically administered prostaglandin EP4 receptor agonist L‐902,688 and pegylated ...

Mechanism of human rhinovirus infections [PDF]
About 150 human rhinovirus serotypes are responsible for more than 50 % of recurrent upper respiratory infections. Despite having similar 3D structures, some bind members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor family, some ICAM-1, and some use CDHR3 for host cell infection. This is also reflected in the pathways exploited for cellular entry.

Human rhinoviruses (HRV) are the most common cause of viral respiratory tract infections. While normally mild and self-limiting in healthy adults, HRV infections are associated with bronchiolitis in infants, pneumonia in immunocompromised patients, and ...

Early Origins of Asthma and Allergies: Clues From Studies in China
The environment we live in harbours both risk and protective factors for asthma and allergies. This is particularly relevant in China, where unique environmental and cultural factors shape disease development. The interplay between these environmental factors, airway immunity, and gut microbiome shapes the susceptibility to asthma and allergies ...

Respiratory admissions and impact of COVID‐19 lockdowns for children with severe cerebral palsy
In a population cohort of children with severe cerebral palsy, there was a reduced frequency of hospitalization for respiratory illness during periods of restricted social contact, implemented to reduce transmission of COVID‐19. This mirrored trends in the wider population and underlines the importance of community viral transmission in these children.

Rhinovirus inhibition by bufadienolides.
An evaluation of thirty-four bufadienolides and two related cardenolides against a series of rhinoviruses in vitro has been completed. Most of the bufadienolides were found to display some inhibitory activity. Scillarenin and 3-O-[N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)hydrazido]succinylbufalin were found to be the most active with chemotherapeutic indices of 32 and ...

Introduction: emerging importance of the rhinovirus [PDF]
Acute viral respiratory infections (VRIs) encompass a range of illnesses that together constitute the most frequent infections of humans. The most prevalent syndrome is that characterized by signs and symptoms of the common cold, or acute viral rhinosinusitis.

Lethal Respiratory Disease Associated with Human Rhinovirus C in Wild Chimpanzees, Uganda, 2013
We describe a lethal respiratory outbreak among wild chimpanzees in Uganda in 2013 for which molecular and epidemiologic analyses implicate human rhinovirus C as the cause.
