Cystic Fibrosis Testing: Next Steps
April 27, 2009 — Three reports describing advances in cystic fibrosis genetic testing appear in the latest issue of The Journal of Molecular ... > full story -
Notch1 Contributes To Scar Tissue In The Lungs
April 26, 2009 — Researchers have identified Notch1 as a mediator of lung fibrosis. Scar tissue, or fibrosis, can accumulate in the lungs, restricting the flow of oxygen and leading to end-stage lung disease, ... > full story -
Two-Pronged Model Could Help Foil Tough Cystic Fibrosis Infections
April 24, 2009 — Researchers have devised a new way to thwart the relentless bacterial infections that thrive in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis, unlocking new possibilities against a tenacious and toxic ... > full story -
Strategy Discovered For Fighting Persistent Bacterial Infections
March 23, 2009 — Researchers have discovered a promising strategy for destroying the molecular scaffolding that can make Pseudomonas bacterial infections extremely difficult to treat in cystic fibrosis ... > full story -
Immune Cells Play Surprising Role In Cystic Fibrosis Lung Damage
March 16, 2009 — Immune cells once thought to be innocent bystanders in cystic fibrosis may hold the key to stopping patients' fatal lung disease. New findings show that white blood cells called neutrophils respond ... > full story -
No Hiding Place For Infecting Bacteria
March 15, 2009 — Scientists have discovered a new approach to prevent bacterial infections from taking hold. They used enzymes against products of the body's own defense cells to prevent Pseudomonas aeruginosa ... > full story -
Gene That Modifies Severity Of Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease Found
February 25, 2009 — Researchers have discovered a gene that modifies the severity of lung disease in people with the lethal genetic condition, cystic fibrosis, pointing to possible new targets for treatment, according ... > full story -
Boosting Its Infectivity Turns Benign Virus Into Good Gene Therapy Carrier For Cystic Fibrosis
February 16, 2009 — Previous attempts to use viruses to carry a normal gene into cystic fibrosis patients and cure their illness have failed because the immune system mopped them up too quickly or the viruses didn't ... > full story -
Hope For Preventative Treatment For Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease
February 5, 2009 — Rsearchers have succeeded in preventing cystic fibrosis lung disease in an animal model by spraying amiloride into the lungs of young mice. This is the first therapy to successfully attack the root ... > full story -
Nanoemulsion Potent Against Superbugs That Kill Cystic Fibrosis Patients, Study Suggests
February 4, 2009 — Scientists report early evidence that a super-fine oil-and-water emulsion, already shown to kill many other microbes, may be able to quell the ravaging, often drug-resistant infections that cause ... > full story
