Title QUB breakthrough offers hope to lung disease patients Media name/outlet Belfast Telegraph Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 07/03/2019 Description Researchers at Queen's University have discovered a treatment that could improve the lives of people suffering from chronic lung disease.
Researchers found that the symptoms associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) could be alleviated through inhibiting the activity of an enzyme found in the lungs.
The breakthrough builds on a previous study led by the team at Queen's that found that high levels of a particular enzyme, cathepsin 'S', in the lungs of children with cystic fibrosis were associated with increased inflammation and lung damage.URL https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/qub-breakthrough-offers-hope-to-lung-disease-patients-37887100.html Persons Donna Small
