Decreasing Acidity of Airway Liquid in Newborn CF Patients May Reduce Infection Risk, Study Suggests
Normalizing the acidity in the thin layer of liquid covering the airways of newborns with cystic fibrosis might make them more resistant to bacterial infections, a study has found. The study’s researchers also identified two proteins, pendrin and ATP12A, that could be targeted to regulate acidity levels of the airway liquid in these…
