CFTR genotype and maximal exercise capacity in cystic fibrosis: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
RATIONALE: Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is expressed in human skeletal muscle cells. Variations of CFTR dysfunction among patients with CF may present an important determinant of aerobic exercise capacity in CF.

Abstract Introduction Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for refractory obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). Neuropsychological assessment contributes to DBS treatment in several ways: it monitors the cognitive safety of the treatment, identifies beneficial or detrimental cognitive side effects and it could aid to explain ...

Advances in bronchiectasis:endotyping, genetics, microbiome, and disease heterogeneity [PDF]
Bronchiectasis is characterised by pathological dilation of the airways. More specifically, the radiographic demonstration of airway enlargement is the common feature of a heterogeneous set of conditions and clinical presentations.

Chronic inflammation in CF airways - a persistent issue for A20 [PDF]
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is characterised by prolonged and exaggerated airways inflammation. Despite recent developments to overcome the underlying functional defect in CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator), there is still an unmet need ...

Modulator Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis: An Exploration of Current Research [PDF]
Developing a drug therapy that addresses the root cause of cystic fibrosis (CF) by increasing CFTR protein levels has long been a research challenge. After genetic therapy failed because a suitable delivery system could not be found, researchers began ...

Interplay between CFTR Phosphorylation, CFTR-ATPase Activity, and Anion Flux [PDF]
The cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR, ABCC7), mutations of which cause CF, belongs to the ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter family and works as a channel for small anions, such as chloride and bicarbonate. Anion channel
