Newly Identified Defect Adds to Hyperinflammation in CF Lung Cells
A defect in an anti-inflammatory pathway called IL-37-SIGIRR contributes to the hyperinflammation seen in lung epithelial cells in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), a new study suggests. The study shows, for the first time, that a mutated form of the single immunoglobulin interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R)-related molecule (SIGIRR), named delta…
