TL;DR: The findings reveal that the ongoing increase in temperature extremes (Tmin and Tmax) might already be contributing to extended seasonal duration and increased pollen load for multiple aeroallergenic pollen taxa in diverse locations across the northern hemisphere.

TL;DR: RpfB is the most promising candidate of the five rpf-like proteins of Mtb in terms of its immunogenicity and protective efficacy and warrants further analysis for inclusion as an antigen in novel TB vaccines.

TL;DR: It is suggested that airborne grass, birch and hornbeam pollen are associated with severe asthma exacerbations in the Brussels region and appear to act in synergy with air pollution.

TL;DR: An earlier onset of the flowering period for birch, oak, ash, plane, grasses, and Urticaceae and the rates of change in pollen annual cycles were shown to be associated with the ratesof change in the annual cycles of several meteorological parameters such as temperature, radiation, humidity, and rainfall.

TL;DR: Living in close proximity to areas with high grass cover (grasslands, but also residential gardens) may negatively impact child respiratory health and reducing the dominance of grass in public and private green space might be beneficial to reduce the childhood asthma burden and may simultaneously improve the ecological value of urban green space.
