Abstract
The European Cystic Fibrosis Society (ECFS) Basic Science Working Group (BSWG) organized a session on the topic “Cystic Fibrosis: Beyond the Airways”, within the 15th ECFS Basic Science Conference which gathered around 200 researchers working in the basic science of CF. The session was organized and chaired by Margarida Amaral (BioISI, University of Lisboa, Portugal) and Jeffrey Beekman (University Medical Centre Utrecht, Netherlands) as Chair and Vice-Chair of the BSWG and its purpose was to bring attention of participants of the ECFS Basic Science Conference to “more forgotten” organs in CF disease. In this report we attempt to review and integrate the ideas that emerged at the session.
