The complexities of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor therapeutic drug monitoring in a person with cystic fibrosis and Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary disease

open access: yesEuropean Clinical Respiratory Journal
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) remains challenging due to a lack of clarity around the parameters that govern ETI plasma concentrations, whilst the use of concomitant CYP3A inducers rifabutin and rifampicin is

Identification of BPIFA1/SPLUNC1 as an epithelium-derived smooth muscle relaxing factor

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Asthma is characterized by abnormal airway hyperresponsiveness. Here the authors identify BPIFA1 as a factor secreted by airway epithelial cells, and show that it regulates contractility of airway smooth muscle cells by binding to and regulating the ...

Improving the Rate of Sufficient Sweat Collected in Infants Referred for Sweat Testing in Michigan

open access: yesGlobal Pediatric Health, 2014
Objective . Sweat collected for testing should have quantity not sufficient (QNS) rate of ≤10% in babies ≤3 months of age. Michigan (MI) cystic fibrosis (CF) centers’ QNS rates were 12% to 25% in 2009. This project was initiated to reduce sweat QNS rates

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Acquisition in Cystic Fibrosis Patients in Context of Otorhinolaryngological Surgery or Dentist Attendance: Case Series and Discussion of Preventive Concepts

open access: yesCase Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2015
Introduction. P. aeruginosa is the primary cause for pulmonary destruction and premature death in cystic fibrosis (CF). Therefore, prevention of airway colonization with the pathogen, ubiquitously present in water, is essential.

Ion mediated cross-shield driven mucous swelling kinetics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
We present an experimentally guided, bi-phasic, multi-species ionic gel model to compare and make quantitative predictions on the viscoelastic properties of healthy mucus versus Cystic-Fibrosis infected mucus. The mixture theory consists of the mucus (polymer phase) and water (solvent phase) as well as several different ions: H$^+$, Na$^+$, Cl$^-$ and ...

From CFTR biology toward combinatorial pharmacotherapy: expanded classification of cystic fibrosis mutations

open access: yesMolecular Biology of the Cell, 2016
More than 2000 mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) have been described that confer a range of molecular cell biological and functional phenotypes.
