New Gene Editing Approach Offers Hope for Cystic Fibrosis Patients

The system restored 88%–100% of CFTR channel function in 3%–4% of airway cells, offering a mutation-agnostic therapy for cystic fibrosis patients with diverse gene mutations.

Summary by Medical Xpress
UCLA researchers have developed a lipid nanoparticle-based gene-editing approach capable of inserting an entire healthy gene into human airway cells, restoring key biological function in a laboratory model of cystic fibrosis and establishing a potential new path toward mutation-agnostic gene therapy for inherited lung diseases.
