Various assays for measuring cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (
The goal of the CFTR Chemical Compound program is to enable cystic fibrosis research scientists to test known cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulating compounds in different functional assays.
Knowledge of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein structure will contribute toward the understanding of CFTR function and CF biology, the mechanisms of action for CF drugs, and provide additional insight toward new drug discovery through structure-based drug design.
Cystic fibrosis forced me to drop out of high school. After earning my GED, I'm in college and more determined -- than ever -- to finish.
Although 90-95 percent of people with cystic fibrosis are expected to benefit from CF transmembrane regulator (CFTR) modulators, 5 percent of the population will still need alternative therapies to address the underlying cause of their disease. Learn more about the research that the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is doing to find treatments for the 5 percent of people with these rare and nonsense mutations.
When there is more than one person with CF in your school, it is essential that they be kept a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters) apart from each other. Germs can spread as far as 6 feet through droplets released in the air when people cough or sneeze.
As a frequent public speaker, I was surprisingly nervous the day before I spoke to my kids' classmates about the realities of cystic fibrosis several years ago. Luckily, my kids knew just what to say to calm my nerves.
About a year and a half ago, I started preparing for three students with cystic fibrosis at the school where I work as a school nurse. Here's an update on how things have been going.
Sending your child to kindergarten for the first time is hard enough, but when your child has cystic fibrosis, it is even harder. Here's how I handled my daughter's transition to kindergarten and the lessons I learned along the way.
