Researchers have identified a rare cell type in airway tissue, previously uncharacterized in the scientific literature, that appears to play a key role in the biology of cystic fibrosis. Using new technologies that...

European researchers have identified a group of genes that behave as potential modifiers in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with a F508del mutation in the CFTR gene — a discovery that may lead to new ways to treat the disease. Their study, “Transcriptomic profile ...
