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.

Air pollution during pregnancy and lung development in the childAir pollution exposure has increased in recent years and there is evidence that exposure to particulate matter can lead to adverse respiratory outcomes.

Autophagy modulates growth and development in the moss Physcomitrium patensPhyscomitrium patens apical growing protonemal cells have the singularity that they continue to undergo cell divisions as the plant develops. This feature provides a valuable tool to study autophagy in the context of a multicellular apical growing tissue coupled to development. Herein, we showed that the core autophagy machinery is present in the moss P. patens, and characterized the 2D and 3D growth and development of atg5 and atg7 loss-of-function mutants under optimal and nutrient-deprived conditions.

BANK CF: The Respiratory Centre BIOBANKThe Australian Respiratory Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) program has grown from an early surveillance program initiated in Perth in 1999, which performed bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to evaluate pulmonary infection and inflammation, as well as infant lung function testing.

Stability Considerations for Bacteriophages in Liquid Formulations Designed for NebulizationPulmonary 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.
