Once thought to be a simple barrier to the external environment, epithelial cells are involved in many repair and inflammatory processes that occur in childhood airway diseases.
Hallmarks of cystic fibrosis (CF) airway disease include bronchiectasis, airway inflammation by infiltrating polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and recurring infection.
Antimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis, which has accelerated due to the overuse of antibiotics.
The project aims to build capacity in regenerative medicine for children with respiratory diseases.
