Determinants of culture success through retrospective analysis of a program of routinely brushing children with Cystic Fibrosis airway disease
Despite our current treatment, many cystic fibrosis (CF) patients still show progressive bronchiectasis and small airways disease.
Stratification of monitoring protocols based on the risk profile of the patient can help us in the future to better care for people with Cystic Fibrosis.
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
Apically located tight junctions in airway epithelium perform a fundamental role in controlling macromolecule migration through paracellular spaces.
