Visualisation of Multiple Tight Junctional Complexes in Human Airway Epithelial Cells

Apically 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 cells

This 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 asthma

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

Research

Oxidative stress in early cystic fibrosis lung disease is exacerbated by airway glutathione deficiency

are oxidative stress or glutathione status associated with brochiectasis and whether glutathione deficiency is inherently linked to CF or from oxidative stress

Research

Side effects of medications used to treat childhood interstitial lung disease

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

Research

Predicting disease progression in cystic fibrosis

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

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...

Research

Progressive ventilation inhomogeneity in infants with cystic fibrosis after pulmonary infection

This study aimed to determine how pulmonary inflammation & infection impacts on ventilation distribution throughout early life in people with cystic fibrosis.

Research

The immunotoxicity, but not anti-tumor efficacy, of anti-CD40 and anti-CD137 immunotherapies is dependent on the gut microbiota

Immune agonist antibodies (IAAs) are promising immunotherapies that target co-stimulatory receptors to induce potent anti-tumor immune responses, particularly when combined with checkpoint inhibitors.

Research

Normative values for lung, bronchial sizes, and bronchus-artery ratios in chest CT scans: from infancy into young adulthood

To 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.
