New Hope Exists in Treating Inherited Disease by Suppressing DNA Mutations
April 26, 2010 — Genetic mutation can disrupt the way human cells make proteins, which in turn leads to inherited disease. According to one researcher, scientists are closer than ever to producing drugs that fix this ... > full story -
Cystic Fibrosis and Crohn's Disease Treated Successfully With Infliximab
April 19, 2010 — A research team from Italy reported a case of a 23-year-old patient suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) and Crohn's disease who was successfully treated with infliximab. This case report was thought ... > full story -
Molecular Basis for Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Persistent Infections in CF Patients
March 11, 2010 — New research reveals Small Colony Variants (SCVs) of P. aeruginosa to be a hallmark of chronic infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Results suggest that SCV-mediated persistence might be a ... > full story -

Defective Signaling Pathway Sheds Light on Cystic Fibrosis
February 14, 2010 — In a study that could lead to new therapeutic targets for patients with the cystic fibrosis, scientists have identified a defective signaling pathway that contributes to disease ... > full story -
Adapting to Clogged Airways Makes Common Pathogen Resist Powerful Drugs
February 9, 2010 — Mutations of a common environmental pathogen that causes chronic lung disease in patients with cystic fibrosis are able to survive in oxygen-poor, nitrate-rich airway secretions. This same survival ... > full story -
Biodegradable Particles Can Bypass Mucus, Release Drugs Over Time

Fight Infection by Disturbing How Bacteria Communicate
December 21, 2009 — Researchers have clarified the structure of an enzyme that disturbs the communication processes between bacteria. By doing so they have laid the foundations for a new method of tackling bacterial ... > full story -
Better Understanding of the Defective Protein That Causes Cystic Fibrosis
December 18, 2009 — Scientists studying the protein that, when defective or absent, causes cystic fibrosis has made an important discovery about how that protein is normally controlled and under what circumstances it ... > full story -
Scientists Restore Some Function to Cells from Cystic Fibrosis Patients
December 6, 2009 — In an encouraging new development, scientists have restored partial function to lung cells collected from patients with cystic fibrosis. While there is still much work to be done before the therapy ... > full story -
Lung Tissue Generated From Human Embryonic Stem Cells
November 4, 2009 — Scientists in Belgium have successfully differentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESC) into major cell types of lung epithelial tissue using a convenient air-liquid interface. The technique could ... > full story
