Hi. Check out Science daily. There is an article on lung disease. Cant pretend to understand it completely but here goes. Researchers have found a way to deliver rna (this is a form of dna in mitachondrial cells) anyway, this rna can deliver certain proteins to the lungs which help the lung cells to function properly. They have shown it can work in dry powder form which is then easily administered to the lung cells. Check it out you may have a better understanding than me. Anyway something to offer hope!

tried to attach the link but couldnt do it. (am hpoeless at technology)!if you go to science daily and then to the health section you should find it there. Also fould something in the American lung institute about another study again looking at proteins ablilty to repair bronchial cell walls. Dont think they ate the same because rna wasnt mentioned in the last one. Think one of these may be included in bbronchiectasis news on Monday. Let me know what you think, it may be clearer to you. Thanks Sue.
