Experts in cloning and stem cell science are reporting that five lung stem cell variants dominate the lungs of patients with advanced cystic fibrosis, and that these variants drive key aspects of CF ...

A scientific team has unlocked a new way to treat serious lung conditions by using specially designed nanoparticles to deliver genetic therapies straight to lung cells. This innovation could transform ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) and pulmonary fibrosis (PF) are two chronic conditions that damage the lungs. Treatment for both aims to improve breathing, manage symptoms, and prevent further lung damage. Your ...

Yale researchers have identified a possible driver of the persistent inflammation that causes irreversible lung damage in patients with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder that impairs breathing and ...

The development of gene editing tools, which enable the specific targeting and correction of mutations, hold the promise of allowing us to correct those mutations that cause genetic diseases. However, ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Many patients with advanced cystic fibrosis — an illness that causes thick mucus secretions — turn to lung transplants to improve their quality of life. But in taking that step, they ...

Using a virus to kill a bacterium may seem like going backward in medicine and harkens back to the early 20 th century when Julius Wagner-Juarreg used malaria to cure neurosyphilis (a feat that won ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease that people can be born with. While there is no cure, people with CF may live well into adulthood if they receive the appropriate treatment and medical monitoring.

4D Molecular Therapeutics (FDMT) slipped ~15% on Wednesday after the company announced updated data from an early-stage trial for 4D-710, its experimental therapy for a genetic disorder known as ...
