A structure-function analysis of interspecies antagonism by the 2-heptyl-4-alkyl-quinolone signal molecule from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Here we show that antibacterial activity of 4-hydroxy-2-heptylquinoline against Vibrionaceae is species-specific

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

Oxidative stress and abnormal bioactive lipids in early cystic fibrosis lung disease

Several lipid biomarkers of early cystic fibrosis lung disease were identified, which point toward potential disease monitoring and therapeutic approaches

Early respiratory viral infections in infants with cystic fibrosis

Early viral infections were associated with greater neutrophilic inflammation and bacterial pathogens

Quorum Sensing Signaling Alters Virulence Potential and Population Dynamics in Complex Microbiome-Host Interactomes

Genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of a quorum sensing positive Psychrobacter isolate identified several quorum sensing associated systems

Visualisation of Multiple Tight Junctional Complexes in Human Airway Epithelial Cells

Apically located tight junctions in airway epithelium perform a fundamental role in controlling macromolecule migration through paracellular spaces.

Assessment of p.Phe508del-CFTR functional restoration in pediatric primary cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells

This study assessed an alternative approach, using a small scale halide assay that can be adapted for a personalized high throughput setting to analyze CFTR function of pAEC.

Accumulation mode particles and LPS exposure induce TLR-4 dependent and independent inflammatory responses in the lung

We aimed to delineate the effects of LPS and AMP on airway inflammation, and potential contribution to airway disease by measuring airway inflammatory responses

Conditionally reprogrammed primary airway epithelial cells maintain morphology, lineage and disease specific functional characteristics

Here, we show that conditionally reprogrammed airway epithelial cells (CRAECs) can be established from both healthy and diseased phenotypes.

Oxidative stress in early cystic fibrosis lung disease is exacerbated by airway glutathione deficiency

are oxidative stress or glutathione status associated with brochiectasis and whether glutathione deficiency is inherently linked to CF or from oxidative stress
