Stem cells from the gut of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients grown in the laboratory could help predict whether a certain treatment will be effective in that particular patient.
Interaction between bacteria naturally occurring in the lungs and disease-causing bacteria may be making it harder to clear the latter from the body, new study finds. This is a major problem especially for people with cystic fibrosis, who are already susceptible to lung infections. The scientists hope that this knowledge will help develop better anti-bacterial therapies for people with cystic fibrosis and other lung conditions.
