Airway surface liquid pH is not acidic in children with cystic fibrosis

Modulation of ASL pH has been proposed as a therapy for CF. However, evidence that ASL pH is reduced in CF is limited and conflicting.

Quantitative assessment of airway dimensions in young children with cystic fibrosis lung disease using chest computed tomography

To evaluate lung disease progression using AA dimensions on chest CT over 2-years in young CF patients longitudinally and compare to disease controls.

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.

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"

Multiple-breath washout outcomes are sensitive to inflammation and infection in children with cystic fibrosis

The lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool for monitoring the presence and extent of lower airway inflammation and infection

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.

Early lung disease in infants and preschool children with cystic fibrosis: What have we learned and what should we do about it?

This review summarizes what we have learned about early lung disease in children with CF and discusses the implications for clinical practice and res…

CFTR-dependent defect in alternatively-activated macrophages in cystic fibrosis

CFTR-dependent imbalance of macrophage phenotypes and functions could contribute to the exaggerated inflammatory response seen in CF lung disease

Chest imaging in cystic fibrosis studies: What counts, and can be counted?

The aim of this study is to characterize the role of currently available CT and MRI markers in clinical studies, and to discuss challenges with CF st…

Hypoxia and sterile inflammation in cystic fibrosis airways: Mechanisms and potential therapies

In this review, we consider recent evidence regarding hypoxia and sterile inflammation in cystic fibrosis airways
