Cystic fibrosis biological samples are available to qualified researchers to help develop promising new studies that will support CF research and aid in drug development and drug discovery.
The CFTR Antibodies Distribution Program works to streamline access to reagents specific for the detection of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) expression.
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.
Influenza, or “the flu,” is a highly contagious respiratory illness that is caused by a virus. For people with cystic fibrosis, getting the flu may cause a worsening of symptoms and lead to a faster decline in lung function.
The faulty gene that causes cystic fibrosis disrupts the normal flow of salt and water in and out of the lungs and other organs. This salt imbalance results in thick, sticky mucus that builds up in the lungs, allowing germs to thrive and multiply.
There are many things you can do to help reduce the risk of getting or spreading germs while traveling.
