Deskripsi

Hundreds of mutations in the gene CFTR lead to cystic fibrosis and represent a challenge to developing therapeutics. Here, authors demonstrate the ability of airway cells derived from human iPSCs to model genotype-specific CFTR function as well as pharmacologic rescue of disease causing mutations.
