A UB-led research team has developed molecules that could help unclog thick, sticky mucus from the lungs of people suffering from cystic fibrosis. The chronic disease is caused by a defective protein ...

With more than 70,000 people living with cystic fibrosis (CF) worldwide, according to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the introduction of CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator ...

Pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 and pneumococcus can cause severe pneumonia. If the airways then fill with fluid, the patient risks developing acute respiratory distress syndrome. Researchers have now ...

Attempts to treat pneumonia typically focus on pneumonia-causing pathogens. However, at Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin, researchers have been exploring a different approach. They are trying to ...

Bing Gong, UB Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry, led a research team that developed molecules than can bind to and carry chloride ions out of cells. This could help treat cystic ...

Cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder, affects lungs and other organs. It causes thick mucus buildup. Researchers have identified over 2,000 gene mutations. New treatments called CFTR modulators are now ...

Synthetic anion binders could one day help treat the chronic lung disease. A University at Buffalo-led research team has developed molecules that could help unclog thick, sticky mucus from the lungs ...
