"Drug 'could aid cystic fibrosis'" is the headline on BBC News. The article says that "widely-used antidepressants could prevent infections which shorten the lives of many cystic fibrosis patients". The report is based on the findings from a study in mice which has shed further light on the biological processes involved in the changes to the lungs caused by the cystic fibrosis mutation. Lung infections are a major cause of death in people who have cystic fibrosis.
