BUFFALO, N.Y. — A University at Buffalo-led research team has developed molecules that could help unclog thick, sticky mucus from the lungs of people suffering from cystic fibrosis. The chronic ...

Cystic fibrosis: This genetic disorder, passed in families, causes an accumulation of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs, pancreas, and other parts of the body.

The inherited progressive disorder cystic fibrosis (CF) causes severe damage to the lungs, and other tissues in the body by affecting the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices. In ...

(BOSTON) — The inherited progressive disorder cystic fibrosis (CF) causes severe damage to the lungs, and other tissues in the body by affecting the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that builds up mainly in the lungs, clogging the airways and trapping bacteria. As a result, people with ...

Just a few decades ago, most cystic fibrosis patients died in early adulthood. However, life expectancy is now approximately 56 and many with the disease live full life spans, thanks in part to ...

Cystic fibrosis is a serious genetic disease that affects the lungs and other organs. It involves the mutation of a gene that affects mucous production. Instead of making mucus that’s thin and ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited condition characterized by abnormal, highly adherent viscous mucus. The mucus favors intractable infections in the lungs, typically with Pseudomonas aeruginosa but ...

For people with cystic fibrosis, mucus that lines the lungs, airways, and other body parts becomes extra thick and sticky. This mucus can be difficult to clear or cough out, so chest physiotherapy ...

By showing a critical role for sialylation in the biophysical properties of mucus and mucus transport, the study identifies a possible therapeutic target for the treatment of cystic fibrosis and other ...

This binding increased a liquid layer vital for mucus clearance in cystic fibrosis cells by 50%, according to a study published Oct. 9 in Nature Chemistry.
