Chest computed tomography: a validated surrogate endpoint of cystic fibrosis lung disease?

Clinical trials for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease are important to test and optimise new therapeutic interventions.

Assessment of early bronchiectasis in young children with cystic fibrosis is dependent on lung volume

The aim of this study was to determine whether assessment of early CT scan-detected bronchiectasis in young children with cystic fibrosis (CF) depends on...

Transcription factor p63 regulates key genes and wound repair in human airway epithelial Basal cells

The airway epithelium in asthma displays altered repair and incomplete barrier formation.

Productive infection of human embryonic stem cell-derived nkx2.1+ respiratory progenitors with human rhinovirus.

Our experiments provide proof of principle for the use of PSC-derived respiratory epithelial cells in the study of cell-virus interactions.

PRAGMA-CF. A Quantitative Structural Lung Disease Computed Tomography Outcome in Young Children with Cystic Fibrosis

Chest computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for demonstrating cystic fibrosis (CF) airway disease. However, there are no standardized outcome...

Early pulmonary inflammation and lung damage in children with cystic fibrosis

Airway inflammation and infection are present from early in life, often before children are symptomatic.

Successful establishment of primary small airway cell cultures in human lung transplantation

The study of small airway diseases such as post-transplant bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is hampered by the difficulty in assessing peripheral airway

Decreased fibronectin production significantly contributes to dysregulated repair of asthmatic epithelium

In human asthma, and experimental allergic airways disease in mice, antigen-presenting cells and CD4(+) effector cells at the airway mucosa orchestrate, and CD4

Bile signalling promotes chronic respiratory infections and antibiotic tolerance

Bile acid signalling is a leading trigger for the development of chronic phenotypes underlying the pathophysiology of chronic respiratory disease
