If you and your partner both are carriers for CF, it doesn’t necessarily mean your child will have CF. But it will likely still affect your pregnancy. Genetic disorders range widely from long-term yet ...

UCLA researchers use lipid nanoparticles to insert full CFTR gene into airway cells, restoring function and opening new avenues for CF therapy.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common genetic disorders that has been well studied. Researchers have identified CF-causing mutations in a gene called CFTR, which encodes for an ion channel. The genetic ...

UCLA researchers have developed a lipid nanoparticle-based gene-editing approach capable of inserting an entire healthy gene ...

Researchers engineered lipid nanoparticles to deliver a full CFTR gene into human airway cells, restoring near-normal ...

Using an updated version of a recently developed technology called MaMTH-HTS (Mammalian Membrane Two-Hybrid High-Throughput Screening) that allows the detection of membrane-associating factors ...

The desire to have children represents one of the most fundamental human experiences, yet for people living with cystic fibrosis, the path to parenthood can feel uncertain and complex. You might ...
