Instead, one idea is to use this technique to help cystic fibrosis patients.

相反，其中一种想法是，利用这项技术帮助囊性纤维病患者。

The treatment, which counteracts the effects of a genetic mutation carried by 90% of Cystic fibrosis patients, comes 30 years after researchers identified the gene behind the disease.

在研究人员确定该疾病背后的基因30年后，该疗法抵消了90%的囊性纤维化患者所携带的基因突变的影响。

One or more of these could move toward trials in the next few years, says Riley, including one for multi-resistant tuberculosis and another for pulmonary infections in cystic fibrosis patients.

赖利说，其中一种或多种药物有望在未来几年进入临床试验阶段，其中一种用于治疗耐多药结核病，另一种用于治疗囊性纤维化患者的肺部感染。
