New Study Reveals Limitations of Current Cystic Fibrosis Treatment
Researchers at the University of Geneva have discovered that a new treatment for cystic fibrosis, introduced in 2020, does not always prevent bacterial infections in the respiratory system. The treatment fails to prevent the development of ‘docking stations’ on the surface of the respiratory tract, to which bacteria attach themselves to infect the body. By studying 3D models of human lung cells, the scientists found that combining the current treatment with other molecules may restore cell balance and better prevent bacterial infections, shedding light on the limitations of the current treatment for cystic fibrosis and providing a potential pathway for improving patient care.
