Airway epithelial repair in health and disease: Orchestrator or simply a player?

This review attempts to highlight migration-specific and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) aspects of repair used by epithelial cells

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

Research

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

Research

Use of a primary epithelial cell screening tool to investigate phage therapy in cystic fibrosis

This study demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing pre-clinical in vitro culture models to screen therapeutic candidates

Air trapping in early cystic fibrosis lung disease-Does CT tell the full story?

Mosaic attenuation on expiratory chest computed tomography (CT) is common in early life cystic fibrosis (CF) and often referred to as "air trapping"

Research

The AREST CF experience in biobanking - More than just tissues, tubes and time.

Research to further improve outcomes for people with CF is dependent upon well characterised, archived and accessible clinical specimens.

Effect of posture on lung ventilation distribution and associations with structure in children with cystic fibrosis

Background: We assessed the effect of posture on ventilation distribution and the impact on associations with structural lung disease.
