Research

Minimal structural lung disease in early life represents significant pathology

In this cohort, as compared with the AREST CF cohort, the authors highlight the limited correlation between infection and inflammation with lung function and structural impairment, and that this was mainly explained by the mild changes identified in lung function and on chest CT scan.

Changing Prevalence of Lower Airway Infections in Young Children with Cystic Fibrosis

Aspergillus species and P. aeruginosa are commonly present in the lower airways from infancy

Research

Use of a primary epithelial cell screening tool to investigate phage therapy in cystic fibrosis

This study demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing pre-clinical in vitro culture models to screen therapeutic candidates

Research

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.

Research

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"

Research

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.

Research

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 studies.

Stability Considerations for Bacteriophages in Liquid Formulations Designed for Nebulization

Pulmonary bacterial infections present a significant health risk to those with chronic respiratory diseases including cystic fibrosis and chronic-obstructive pulmonary disease. With the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, novel therapeutics are desperately needed to combat the emergence of resistant superbugs.
