Several lipid biomarkers of early cystic fibrosis lung disease were identified, which point toward potential disease monitoring and therapeutic approaches

Early viral infections were associated with greater neutrophilic inflammation and bacterial pathogens

Genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of a quorum sensing positive Psychrobacter isolate identified several quorum sensing associated systems

Pulmonary inflammation in surveillance bronchoalveolar lavage has a cumulative effect on structural lung disease extent, more so than infection

These findings indicate that early CF lung disease is characterized by an increased mucus burden and inflammatory markers without infection or structural lung disease

A better understanding of the innate immune responses by CF airway epithelial cells is needed to identify why viral infections are more severe in CF

Comprehensive scores incorporating clinical, lung function, imaging and laboratory data will become essential in the future for predicting disease progression and for use in clinical trials

Interstitial lung disease in children comprises a range of different rare diseases

Here we review the current knowledge of key molecular pathways that are dysregulated during persistent goblet cell differentiation

This study demonstrates novel intrinsic differences in tight junctions gene and protein expression between airway epithelial cells of children with and without asthma
