Recent clinical trials have shown promising results with gene-editing techniques demonstrating the ability to address the underlying genetic mutations responsible for CF. While further research is needed, these developments signal a potential paradigm shift in the treatment of this debilitating condition, offering the prospect of personalized therapies tailored to individual patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the article to know more about these breakthroughs in gene therapy and how they brought new hope to individuals living with cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disorder affecting the lungs and digestive system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vocabulary Questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Explain what “molecular prosthetic”<\/strong> is. “”With this method, people with CF could directly deliver this molecular prosthetic<\/strong> to their lungs where they need it most, hopefully increasing its\u00a0efficacy\u00a0and safety” <\/em>Use it in a sentence. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. What does “spin-out”<\/strong> mean here, “Pioneered by scientists at Carle Illinois College of Medicine at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the Carver College of Medicine at the University of Iowa in partnership with the spin-out<\/strong> biotechnology company, cystetic Medicines, this promising inhalable molecular prosthetic is intended to improve lung function in people with CF who cannot benefit from current therapies.”?<\/em> Use it in a sentence. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. What does “at the root”<\/strong> mean? “We’re hopeful that for those who have held their breath for far too long, this could be a first opportunity to regain ion-channel-like function in the airway and thereby address CF at its roots<\/strong>.”<\/em> Use it in a sentence. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
