Systems biology and bile acid signalling in microbiome-host interactions in the cystic fibrosis lung

The study of the respiratory microbiota has revealed that the lungs of healthy and diseased individuals harbour distinct microbial communities. Imbalances in these communities can contribute to the pathogenesis of lung disease. How these imbalances occur and establish is largely unknown. This review is focused on the genetically inherited condition of Cystic Fibrosis.

Azithromycin Partially Mitigates Dysregulated Repair of Lung Allograft Small Airway Epithelium

Chronic airway injury and dysregulated repair programs are evident in airway epithelium obtained from patients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome

Azithromycin reduces airway inflammation induced by human rhinovirus in lung allograft recipients

Our data illustrate that rhinovirus infection is capable of infecting upper and lower airway epithelial cells, driving cell death and inflammation

Induced sputum to detect lung pathogens in young children with cystic fibrosis

we aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of induced sputum with and without airway clearance techniques to detect lower airway pathogens in kids.

ABCA3 lung disease in an ex 27 week preterm infant responsive to systemic glucocorticosteroids

This is a case of ABCA3 lung disease that demonstrated improvement after systemic glucocorticosteroid administration

Multi-modality monitoring of cystic fibrosis lung disease: the role of chest computed tomography

Stratification of monitoring protocols based on the risk profile of the patient can help us in the future to better care for people with Cystic Fibrosis.
