There is also irregular fibrosis of the blood vessels due to chronic vasculitis, leading to sometimes massive intimal fibrosis (fibrosis of the inner section of the blood vessels).

One that has just happened in the last few months is the successful approval of a drug for cystic fibrosis.

And you had a big sign promoting Shinerama, which is Students Fighting Cystic Fibrosis, a charity I've worked with for years

There are a number of blood tests available that try to determine the degree of hepatic fibrosis and alleviate the need for biopsy.

For example, radiation that leads to the inflammation and eventual fibrosis of blood vessels may result in damage to the tissues served by those blood vessels.

An example is cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease it is rare in most parts of Asia but relatively common in Europe and in populations of European descent.

Cystic fibrosis had its molecular cause discovered in 1989 by my group working with another group in Toronto, discovering what the mutation was in a particular gene on chromosome 7.

The bad news is, this drug doesn't actually treat all cases of cystic fibrosis, and it won't work for Danny, and we're still waiting for that next generation to help him.

Marine drugs obtained from these and other organisms could be used as antioxidants, antifungals and antibiotics and to fight diseases such as HIV AIDS, cancer, tuberculosis, malaria, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's and cystic fibrosis.
