Visualisation of Multiple Tight Junctional Complexes in Human Airway Epithelial CellsApically located tight junctions in airway epithelium perform a fundamental role in controlling macromolecule migration through paracellular spaces.
Research
Assessment of p.Phe508del-CFTR functional restoration in pediatric primary cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cellsThis study assessed an alternative approach, using a small scale halide assay that can be adapted for a personalized high throughput setting to analyze CFTR function of pAEC.
Research
Effects of human rhinovirus on epithelial barrier integrity and function in children with asthmaThis study demonstrates novel intrinsic differences in tight junctions gene and protein expression between airway epithelial cells of children with and without asthma

Side effects of medications used to treat childhood interstitial lung diseaseInterstitial lung disease in children comprises a range of different rare diseases
Research
Predicting disease progression in cystic fibrosisComprehensive 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
Research
Disruption of β-catenin/CBP signaling inhibits human airway epithelial-mesenchymal transition and repair.The airway epithelium of both children and adults with asthma is relatively undifferentiated characterized by a significantly increased proportion of...

The immunotoxicity, but not anti-tumor efficacy, of anti-CD40 and anti-CD137 immunotherapies is dependent on the gut microbiotaImmune agonist antibodies (IAAs) are promising immunotherapies that target co-stimulatory receptors to induce potent anti-tumor immune responses, particularly when combined with checkpoint inhibitors.

Normative values for lung, bronchial sizes, and bronchus-artery ratios in chest CT scans: from infancy into young adulthoodTo estimate the developmental trends of quantitative parameters obtained from chest computed tomography (CT) and to provide normative values on dimensions of bronchi and arteries, as well as bronchus-artery (BA) ratios from preschool age to young adulthood.
