Comments
This was extremely interesting to watch. The presentation was very informative and I was able to follow along. I am interested to know about how long can the dangerous stage of cystic fibrosis be prolonged with the treatment being discussed in the video?
Very exciting research! It would also be interesting to see if the mechanism of the immune system of the bacterial built-up is similar for other diseases. If it is, targetting those diseases would be easier. Correct me if I am wrong.
