Common Cold Virus Efficiently Delivers Corrected Gene To Cystic Fibrosis Cells Jul 23, 2009
Using parainfluenza virus, one of the viruses that causes common colds, the UNC scientists found that delivery of a corrected version of the CFTR gene to 25 percent of cells grown in a tissue culture model that resembles the lining of the human airways was sufficient to restore normal function back to the tissue. "This is the first demonstration in which we've been able to execute delivery in an efficient manner," said Ray Pickles, Ph. (Science Daily)

More Children Need Medical Help For RSV Than Previously Known Feb 16, 2009
This study found that RSV causes three times as many hospitalizations as does influenza and parainfluenza in children under 5 years of age.
