Volume 97, Issue 43
With the launch of the cystic fibrosis drug Trikafta, about 90% of people with the disease have a treatment.

The nonprofit is committing $500 million to cystic fibrosis drug discovery through 2025, with a focus on not just treating but curing the disease. The funding will mostly support clinical studies of drug classes including mRNA therapy, gene therapy, and gene editing.
The power is now in your (nitrile gloved) hands
