New approach to treating cystic fibrosis lung infection shows promise
Researchers at the University of Calgary have found a new method of fighting severe lung infections in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). These findings are published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science USA, this week. view more (2008-09-23)
Computer simulations point to key molecular basis of cystic fibrosis
Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have identified a key molecular mechanism that may account for the development of cystic fibrosis, which about 1 in 3000 children are born with in the US every year. view more (2008-03-03)
Common cold virus efficiently delivers corrected gene to cystic fibrosis cells
Scientists have worked for 20 years to perfect gene therapy for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, which causes the body to produce dehydrated, thicker-than-normal mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life threatening infections. view more (2009-07-21)
Helping Cystic Fibrosis Patients Beat Bugs
People with weakened immune systems, including patients with cystic fibrosis, could be better protected in future from a highly resilient bacteria thanks to work by medical scientists from the University of Leeds. The research is presented today, Wednesday 10 September 2003, at the Society for General Microbiology's meeting at UMIST in Manchester.... view more... (2003-08-27)
New clinical guidelines for exacerbations in cystic fibrosis
The American Thoracic Society has released new clinical guidelines for the treatment of exacerbations in cystic fibrosis based on a review of the literature on current clinical practices. view more (2009-10-23)
NHLBI media availability: Treatment shows long-term benefits for cystic fibrosis patients
New research suggests that inhaling hypertonic saline, a water-based concentrated salt solution, could provide long-term benefits for lung health in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). view more (2006-01-19)
Little Evidence Behind Bronchodilator Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis
Little evidence exists to support the widespread use of bronchodilators to treat children and adults with cystic fibrosis, according to a new systematic review of published research. view more (2005-10-26)
Putting a stop to antibiotic resistance with new drugs from seaweed
Scientists have found a new way to prevent life-threatening infections not by killing the bacteria but by preventing them from talking to each other, according to research published today in the journal Microbiology. We`ve found that a group of chemicals called furanones can prevent the build up of communities of bacteria on surfaces such as... view more... (2001-12-21)
CU-Boulder technology used to identify unexpected bacteria in cystic fibrosis patients
Molecular technology developed by a University of Colorado at Boulder professor to probe extreme life forms in undersea hydrothermal vents has been used to identify unexpected bacteria strains in the lung fluid of Denver children suffering from cystic fibrosis, findings that may lead to more effective therapies. view more (2007-12-04)
Clearing the airways in cystic fibrosis
By manipulating the machinery used by our cells for quality control, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have found a way to restore the function of cystic fibrosis (CF) airway cells. view more (2008-08-29)
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center finds possible genetic link to pancreatic cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers have found the risk of developing pancreatic cancer at a young age (under 60) to be twice as high for people who carry a mutation of the gene that causes cystic fibrosis, compared to noncarriers. view more (2005-10-21)
Drug Fights Cystic Fibrosis
An experimental drug that has proven effective in treating muscular dystrophy also works for cystic fibrosis, according to researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). view more (2008-02-06)
Scientists find gene that modifies severity of cystic fibrosis lung disease
Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, and colleagues, have identified a gene that modifies the severity of lung disease in people with cystic fibrosis, a lethal genetic condition. The findings open the door to possible new targets for treatment, researchers say. view more (2009-03-04)
Sodium channel blocker shows promise as a potential treatment for cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis patients may benefit from a new therapy that increases airway hydration, preventing the buildup of mucous, which is a key factor in the disease, according to researchers at Parion Sciences in Durham, N.C. view more (2009-05-18)
Mucous breakthrough in mice holds promise for cystic fibrosis
A London, Canada scientist studying cystic fibrosis (CF) has successfully corrected the defect which causes the overproduction of intestinal mucous in mice. view more (2008-07-30)
Discovery could aid fight against cystic fibrosis infection
Harvard Medical School researchers have discovered one way that a hardy disease-causing bacteria could be surviving in the lungs of chronically infected cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. view more (2006-06-12)
Strategy Discovered for Fighting Persistent Bacterial Infections
Researchers at National Jewish Health have discovered a promising strategy for destroying the molecular scaffolding that can make Pseudomonas bacterial infections extremely difficult to treat in cystic fibrosis patients, wearers of contact lenses, and burn victims. Jerry Nick, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at National Jewish Health, and his... view more... (2009-03-24)
Special issue on cystic fibrosis in The Journal of Pediatrics
Cystic fibrosis is a common, fatal genetic disease in which a gene causes the body to produce abnormally thick, sticky mucus. view more (2005-10-04)
Study reveals how cells destroy faulty proteins in cystic fibrosis
The cellular system that degrades faulty proteins created by the cystic fibrosis gene has been identified by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill scientists. view more (2006-08-11)
Breath test offers hope for early detection of lung-bacteria growth in cystic fibrosis
Breath-analysis testing may prove to be an effective, non-invasive method for detecting the damaging lung-bacteria growth seen in cystic fibrosis, which would allow for early stage treatments that can extend the health of people with this disease. view more (2005-10-18)
