A non-randomised single centre cohort study, comparing standard and modified bowel preparations, in adults with cystic fibrosis requiring colonoscopy

BMC Gastroenterology, 2019
Background Adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) have been reported to be at five to ten-fold risk (25 to 30 fold risk after solid organ transplant) of colorectal cancer (CRC) than the general population.

Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT): a universal process in lung diseases with implications for cystic fibrosis pathophysiology

Respiratory Research, 2018
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that arises due to mutations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator gene, which encodes for a protein responsible for ion transport out of epithelial cells.

LRRC8A Regulates Outer Hair Cell Volume and Electromotility and is Required for Hearing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies LRRC8A‐dependent volume‐regulated anion channels (VRACs) as essential for cochlear outer hair cells' electromotility and auditory signal amplification. LRRC8A deficiency disrupts cell volume control, impairs auditory sensitivity, and causes deafness, while targeted LRRC8A re‐expression restores auditory function.

A multimodal iPSC platform for cystic fibrosis drug testing

Nature Communications, 2022
Hundreds of mutations in the gene CFTR lead to cystic fibrosis and represent a challenge to developing therapeutics. Here, authors demonstrate the ability of airway cells derived from human iPSCs to model genotype-specific CFTR function as well as ...

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) down-regulation in cystic fibrosis lymphocytes [PDF]

, 2006
Background: PPARs exhibit anti-inflammatory capacities and are potential modulators of the inflammatory response. We hypothesized that their expression and/or function may be altered in cystic fibrosis (CF), a disorder characterized by an excessive host ...

Localized Delivery of the mRNAs Encoding CD47 Inhibitor and Interleukins 12, 15, and 21 Elicits Robust Antitumor Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The co‐delivery of mRNAs encoding a CD47 inhibitor and a cytokine cocktail (interleukins 12, 15, and 21) via lipid nanoparticles enables effective localized immunotherapy. This strategy not only suppresses tumor progression but also enhances type 1 conventional dendritic cell (cDC1) differentiation and activates CD8+ T cells, thereby inducing robust ...
