Findings from a new Dartmouth-led study, published in the journal mBio, highlight key differences in the gut microbiome (communities of bacteria) of infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) compared to that ...

Viral and nonviral clinical trials have established proof-of-principle for gene transfer into the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung. It is currently unknown whether gene transfer efficiency is sufficient ...

Despite new medication, cystic fibrosis often leads to permanent lung damage. Working with an international team, researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have discovered that the ...

and we hope future research could lead to the development of genetic therapy treatments for those with rarer CF mutations too,” said Lucy Allen, a lung biologist and research director at Cystic ...

An explanation of the cause and effects of the genetic disorder cystic fibrosis and how it can be treated using gene therapy. There is a discussion about gene therapy which includes an interview ...

Cystic fibrosis is caused by hereditary genetic mutations that impair or halt the production of the CFTR protein. The respiratory tract is most severely affected. There, the mucus becomes so ...
