This study shows that rhinovirus does not directly activate neutrophils but instead induces epithelial release of factors that enhance neutrophil migration and apical debris that triggers ROS production.

The paper identifies maternal milk and infant plasma antibody binding to human rhinovirus epitopes using high-density peptide arrays, revealing isotype-specific and virus-specific binding patterns.

The paper tracks the upper airway microbiome changes in preschool children and links them to asthma-associated persistent wheeze, showing that bacterial shifts precede viral infections and symptoms in sensitized children.
