@primrlab.bsky.social(3) EN: Trials demonstrated modest but meaningful benefits when combined with the potentiator ivacaftor: ~3–4% improvement in lung function and ~30–35% reduction in exacerbations. 👨🏻🔬🧬🫁💊

@chazingdra.bsky.socialIt’s that time of year again! Today is my #cysticfibrosis annual review and I’ll be sharing updates as I go in this thread.
🔁 RTs for awareness appreciated 😊
CF is a genetic condition that causes a build-up of mucus affecting the whole body, especially the lungs.
@primrlab.bsky.social(2) EN: Medicinal chemistry efforts then improved their pharmacological properties, enabling these drugs to advance through clinical trials and deliver substantial benefits. Today, these drugs offer renewed hope to many eligible patients worldwide.
@cysticfibrosis.org.ukThe #cysticfibrosis EYIM is a unique opportunity to network with CF researchers across Europe, hear from mentors, share your work and make career-long new connections.

@lifearc.bsky.socialWhy choose a career in cystic fibrosis research?
4 researchers from across the CF Lung Health Network share what inspires them in their work every day.

@healthcare-europe.bsky.socialTo fight #cysticfibrosis at the source, scientists have both identified a key #infection mechanism and a way to correct the defect. Their insights could help limit serious complications in #CF patients.
@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialactually very similar to what @ranaawdish.bsky.social described 2 days ago. a close friend with #cysticfibrosis died of #renalfailure, which she found out is a horrible way to die. But we learned in #medicalschool that #uremia is a good way to die…because patients are quiet to doctors and nurses
@cysticfibrosis.org.ukOver the past two years, the Translational Innovation Hub Network for CF Lung Health and Infection has brought together researchers, clinicians, people with #cysticfibrosis and partners across the UK and beyond to make real progress against CF lung infections.

@primrlab.bsky.social(2) EN: 3) ~70% of CF alleles carry a three-base deletion (F508del), with the remaining cases caused by many rarer variants. Together, these findings launched molecular diagnosis and research in CF.

@chrisvandergast.bsky.socialGreat to see this finally out
Impact of #trikafta/#kaftrio on respiratory microbiomes of adults with #cysticfibrosis from UK,US,& Canada
Also shows negative selective impacts of azithromycin on #CF pathogens & #microbiome
A need to reevaluate CF polypharmacy in the #CFTR modulator era?
@cfricurecf.bsky.socialWeeks away. Seats filling. Join us at CFRI's A Breath of Fresh Air Gala to honor Jacquelyn Spano, DNP, RN of Stanford - Luxury auction, dinner & dancing, all for #CysticFibrosis research. 📅 Saturday October 17th @ 5:30-10:30pm📍 Hillsborough Racquet Club curecf.cfri.org/Gala2026
@lifearc.bsky.socialWhat makes #CysticFibrosis research such a rewarding career? In this article, researchers from across the CF Lung Health Network reflect on the experiences that are shaping their work and helping drive progress for the future.
@rachelrollo.bsky.socialExcited to be attending the second Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovators Conference (GAMRIC) in sunny Lisbon this week.
Come see my research on #antibiotic #potentiators against #pseudomonas #aeruginosa infections in people with #cysticfibrosis at poster 031!
