Cystic Fibrosis Alters the Immune System From ChildhoodA study led by TUM researchers finds that cystic fibrosis alters immune cells early in life, likely before birth. These immature immune cells fail to fight infections, fueling persistent inflammation ...
In recent years, doctors have started using so-called CFTR modulator therapies to enhance the protein's function ... This could explain why defective immune reactions cannot be treated well ...
The Cell Model and Evaluation Core was established in 2007 and is currently organized on the basis of the well-established notion that CF morbidity and mortality can be mitigated by an improved ...
In cystic fibrosis (CF), genetic mutations lead to faulty versions of CFTR, a protein key to moving ions in and out of cells. Improperly functioning CFTR leads to mucus buildup in the lungs of CF ...
