  1. Lipid #nanoparticles successfully delivered a full-length, healthy #CFTR gene into human airway cells, restoring essential biological function in a cystic #fibrosis model without the use of viral vectors.

  2. Inhibition of the epigenetic co-activators p300/CBP prevents alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells from becoming trapped in a pathogenic "alveolar transitional cell state" (ATCS), thereby blocking the progression of idiopathic #pulmonary #fibrosis (#IPF ).

  3. When #inflammation in the body goes unchecked, it can cause #fibrosis, or tissue scarring that may lead to organ dysfunction or even failure. This can happen in conditions such as inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease), chronic viral infections, interstitial lung fibrosis, chronic autoimmune skin diseases such as scleroderma, and scars associated with heart disease.

    "The drug, a manufactured antibody that attacks interleukin-11, is being trialled in patients with lung fibrosis. This is where the lungs become scarred, making it harder to breathe."

    Hope the trial is successful.

    Really exciting. I wish I could access the research article.

    I wonder if the anti-fibrotic alkaloids are dopamine agonists.*

  6. Improved #pulmonary #function and #exercise #tolerance despite persistent pulmonary #fibrosis over 1 year after severe #COVID19 infection thorax.bmj.com/cgi/content/sho

    Despite a high prevalence of fibrotic patterns (64%), pulmonary function, #grip strength, 6 min #walk distance and frailty normalised. Overall, #dyspnoea, #cough and #exhaustion did not improve and were not correlated with pulmonary function or radiographic fibrosis at 15 months, suggesting non-respiratory aetiologies.

  7. #Cystic #fibrosis is a #genetic disease that causes serious and sometimes fatal #respiratory and #digestive disorders. A new treatment, available since 2020, improves lung function and quality of life. However, it does not always eradicate the #bacteria responsible for respiratory infections.

  8. #Cystic #fibrosis is the most common, life-limiting genetic condition in Australia. It affects the #lungs, #digestive system, and reproductive system, producing excess mucus, infections, and blockages.

  15. People with weakened #immune systems are at constant risk of infection. #Pseudomonas #aeruginosa, a common #environmental #bacterium, can colonize different body parts, such as the #lungs, leading to persistent, chronic infections that can last a lifetime – a common occurrence in people with #cystic #fibrosis.
