Recent research shows that people with cystic fibrosis (CF) living in areas of London with high air pollution, may have poorer lung health than those who live in areas with cleaner air. In this article, we explain more about the research and what it means for people with CF. This study addresses an important research gap and its results strengthen the conclusions of Cystic Fibrosis Trust’s Air Quality and Cystic Fibrosis report Air Quality and Cystic Fibrosis: A Pragmatic Review.
Find out how the MT-RNR1 blood test can identify whether people with cystic fibrosis have an increased risk of hearing loss from aminoglycoside antibiotics.
The most effective way of treating cystic fibrosis (CF) is to treat the underlying cause of the condition and we want to do this for everyone. This includes developing future CFTR modulators with improved benefits and reduced side effects, and finding treatments for those who are unable to benefit from them.
Sumaiyah, who has cystic fibrosis (CF), was recently given one of our Rest and Relax grants following a difficult period with her health. She used the grant to visit Chester Zoo and stay in a lakeside lodge with her mum, Tasleem. We spoke to Sumaiyah and Tasleem about their CF story and how the grant gave Sumaiyah “something positive to look forward to after a tough time.”
