Researchers have discovered a fault in the bacteria-killing zinc pathway in immune cells in people with cystic fibrosis, and a potential way to get around it to reduce infections.

Congrats to @KaustavDasGupt8 & @JamesCurson1 from our lab on their recent PNAS paper on manipulating zinc levels to boost host defence in CF patients. Thanks to all the collaborators, especially the Sly lab! #CysticFibrosis #ImmuneDefense @IMBatUQ @UQ_News

[Kaustav Das Gupta @KaustavDasGupt8]

I'm excited to share that our research from
@TheSweetGroup, on cystic fibrosis and how the heavy metal zinc could be beneficial in combating infections associated with CF, has finally been published in PNAS. https://t.co/JP9zhM4OZk
Many thanks to everyone involved in this project
