Barriers and recent advances in non-viral vectors targeting the lungs for cystic fibrosis gene therapy
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in CFTR genes that affect chloride ion channel. The CF is a good nominee for gene therapy as the asymptomatic carriers are phenotypically normal, and the desired cells are accessible for vector delivery. Gene therapy shows promising effects involving the correction of gene or replacement of the mutant gene with the func...

We observed that the admission process was efficient during working hours (9:00-17:00, Monday-Friday) when the CF tea...
متن کاملBreaking down barriers
entrosomes are required for cytokinesis and are important in cell cycle progression—but how are centrosomes connected to these essential cellular functions at the molecular level? On page 535, Gromley et al. describe the maternal cen-triole protein centriolin, the first integral centrosome protein linked to both cytokinesis and cell cycle progression in vertebrate cells. Overexpression, siRNA s...
متن کاملMaintaining Respiratory Health in Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system, however, it also affects a number of other organs and systems. More than 90% of mortality of CF patients is due to lung complications. Healthy lungs are important for a long life for people with CF, We will discuss two important topics for maintaining respiratory health. Chronic use of drug...
متن کاملNutritional Assesment in Cystic Fibrosis Patients( Iran and Newzeland)
Introduction: Patients with Cystic Fibrosis have increased risk of malnutrition. Early detection of nutritional deterioration enables prompt intervention and correction. The aims of this project were to: - Define the nutritional status of CF patients in Iran and New Zealand - Compare and contrast the MacDonald Nutritional Screening tool with the Australasian guidelines for Nutrition in Cyst...
