Dr. Christina Faherty and her team at Harvard Medical School want to help make the first-ever vaccine for Shigella—a pathogenic bacteria in the human digestive tract. Their creation of malnourished #organoids could play a key role in making that vaccine a reality: bit.ly/4bFfSQY

Did you know? About 90% of people with #cysticfibrosis have sticky mucus that blocks ducts in the pancreas and prevents enzymes from reaching the small intestine to digest food. Undigested food in the intestines can cause pain, cramping, and gas. #CFAwarenessMonth

Do masks/respirators prevent respiratory infections? Yes, according this extensive #ClinMicroRev review, which summarizes a broad evidence base on the benefits, practicalities and impacts of masks/masking, and proposes an agenda for future research. asm.social/1SG

#Inflammation and #fibrosis are closely linked in chronic liver diseases. This REVIEW discusses how immune cell recruitment and wound healing processes can lead to non-functional scar tissue, potentially causing organ failure go.nature.com/3LezdNA

Researchers at the Broad Institute have developed a gene-editing approach that efficiently corrects the most common mutation that causes #CysticFibrosis, found in 85% of patients. It could pave the way for one-time treatments and have fewer side effects: bit.ly/3Y6lZKa
