Hyperpolarized Imaging for New Treatments
In the past decade, research has focused on the multiple breath washout (MBW) test, as a sensitive outcome measure, especially if highly-effective modulator therapies are initiated in early childhood. Even LCI, however, may not adequately capture early lung function changes, thus warranting investigation of even more sensitive outcome measures. Magnetic …

Connexin Genotypes in Cystic Fibrosis
Background: There is wide variety in lung disease phenotype for the delta F508 (homozygous) genotype. A leukocyte driven inflammation is most important for the pathogenesis of pulmonary disease in CF. Blood cytokines correlate negatively with pulmonary function in delta F508 homozygous patients. Gap junction proteins might be of importance for …
