Cystic fibrosis.

Our paediatric Cystic Fibrosis Unit is one of the most important in Spain regarding number of patients and clinical research. We are the only centre in Spain collaborating in the European Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Trial Network, and in the Cystic Fibrosis Core Network of ERN-Lung. Besides clinical investigation, we are working in translational lab projects in collaboration with the Genetic Medicine group to study  the role of the eicosanoid pathway in the lung inflammation of this patients and, more importantly, to personalise the treatments for cystic fibrosis patients through the implementation of primary cultures of epithelial cells (bronchial, nasal) and organoids (rectal epithelium) and the study of transcripts and genomics by next generation sequencing in clinically diagnosed CF patients but with incomplete genomic characterization.

The results show that, in some patients with mutations in the X chromosome, the healthy gene is inactivated and the mutated gene manifests itself, which favors the onset of the disease.

On January 24, a session was held to explain what these three-dimensional models are and what advantages they have, as well as to review some of their applications in research.

The research has studied the structure and function of proteins related to this degenerative disease and their interaction with SMN2 messenger RNA (mRNA), which is key to the evolution of patients.
