Control the platelets, control the disease: A novel cystic fibrosis hypothesis

S. Branfield,A. Washington

Published 2020 in Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis

ABSTRACT

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening disease associated with a viscous mucus that predisposes CF patients to chronic neutrophilic lung inflammation, often leading to respiratory failure. In a recent article published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Ortiz-Munoz et al1 demonstrate that platelets regulate the hyperinflammatory response and suggest that they may be to key to controlling the inflammation in CF patients.
