Background

People with cystic fibrosis (CF) can experience recurrent chest infections, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and gastrointestinal symptoms. New cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator drugs improve lung fun...

Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multi-system genetic disorder affecting >72,000 people worldwide. Most CF patients experience gastrointestinal symptoms and can develop complications. However, the mechanisms of CF gut disease are not well unders...

Magnetic resonance imaging of the gastrointestinal tract shows reduced small bowel motility and altered chyme in cystic fibrosis compared to controls (2021)
Preprint / Working Paper
Dellschaft, N. S., Ng, C., Hoad, C., Marciani, L., Spiller, R., Stewart, I., Menys, A., Barr, H., Gowland, P. A., Major, G., & Smyth, A. R. Magnetic resonance imaging of the gastrointestinal tract shows reduced small bowel motility and altered chyme in cystic fibrosis compared to controls

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease affecting mucosal secretions. Most patients experience digestive symptoms, but the mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here we explore causes and consequences of slower gastrointestinal transit using magn...
