Five posts were made to the CFFC Facebook page during the week of 11/16-22/2025.
11/17/2025 – Goodbye cavities? This new toothpaste made from hair can heal enamel – Okay, this research is not CF-specific. But, as we have said many times, people living with Cf are not exempt from health issues that impact the general population (like tooth decay). Eliminating “normal” health concerns can help focus on CF issues.
11/18/2025 – My Long Road to Trikafta in Pakistan – When we are dealing with our own struggles, it can be difficult to recognize others may be dealing with more. Access to critical medicines is not easy in other countries.
11/20/2025 – FDA clears next phase of RCT2100 clinical trial for cystic fibrosis – A therapy entering phase 2 of clinical trials is quite away from availability to the CF community. That said, the important message in this article is the continuing effort to find treatments that benefit those who are not eligible for current CFTR modulators.
11/21/2025 – Giving Voice to Those Without Modulators – The thrust of this article is recruitment of study volunteers. That said, there are five personal stories about their paths to participation in CF research.
11/22/2025 – Dr. Veronica Campanucci: Unraveling the Link Between Nerve Signals and Gut Symptoms – As noted in the opening of this article, CF affects more than just the lungs. The article describes some innovative research being done in Canada regarding the digestive system.
