Cystic Fibrosis: Disease Management and Advanced Drug Delivery Systems

The book begins with a clear overview of CF, outlining its genetic basis, clinical manifestations, and significant impact on patient health and quality of life. It then explores the underlying pathophysiology associated with CFTR mutations, emphasizing the disruptions in cellular processes that drive disease progression. Particular attention is given to microbial infections, which play a critical role in worsening symptoms, reinforcing the need for effective infection control and integrated care approaches. Building on this foundation, the volume highlights emerging and advanced therapeutic approaches. It examines the growing importance of gene therapy and personalized medicine, alongside innovations in drug delivery systems designed to enhance treatment precision and effectiveness. Technologies such as liposomes, lipid nanoparticles, and polymeric nanocarriers are presented as key enablers of targeted delivery.
