Abstract: Pathogens can alter the phenotype not only of exposed hosts, but also of future generations. Transgenerational immune priming, where parental infection drives reduced susceptibility of offspring, has been particularly well explored, but pathogens can also… read more here.

Abstract: Background: Maternal asthma causes airway hyperreactivity in infants at birth and increases asthma risk in childhood. Humans with severe asthma have increased sensory nerve density in airways. Aim: We investigated whether maternal allergen exposure affects… read more here.
