Scientists have much to learn before they understand exactly how loss of the CFTR protein leads to the manifestations of cystic fibrosis. And a host of technical challenges must be eliminated before any therapy will routinely compensate for that loss. Nevertheless, progress is being made on many fronts. It is difficult not to be optimistic that the ongoing work will produce improved therapies within the next several years.
