Sputum biomarkers of inflammation and lung function decline in children with cystic fibrosisScott D Sagel
Children s Hospital Colorado, 13123 E 16th Avenue, Aurora, CO 80045, USA
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 186:857-65. 2012..Progressive lung function decline is a defining feature of cystic fibrosis (CF). Because airway inflammation plays a central role in CF lung disease, inflammatory biomarkers that can be used to monitor disease activity would be valuable...
