Normal mucus transport is restored in ciliated airway cultures derived from patients with cystic fibrosis after replacement of the CFTR gene. This image represents yellow fluorescent beads embedded in mucus spinning on top of a culture with bead trails, visualized by long exposure times. (Beads moved at 40 µm/sec, approximating mucus velocity in vivo.) (Image: Raymond J. Pickles).
