New drugs, new challenges in cystic fibrosis care

European Respiratory Review
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease caused by variants in the gene encoding for the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, a chloride and bicarbonate channel.

Ligand-based virtual-screening identified a novel CFTR ligand which improves the defective cell surface expression of misfolded ABC transporters

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a monogenetic disease caused by the mutation of CFTR, a cAMP-regulated Cl− channel expressing at the apical plasma membrane (PM) of epithelia.

Small-molecule eRF3a degraders rescue CFTR nonsense mutations by promoting premature termination codon readthrough

The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2022
The vast majority of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) are now eligible for CF transmembrane regulator (CFTR) modulator therapy. The remaining individuals with CF harbor premature termination codons (PTCs) or rare CFTR variants with limited treatment ...

Antisense oligonucleotide targeting the E3 ligase RFFL potentiates CFTR modulator efficacy in CF primary bronchial epithelial cells

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is most commonly caused by the ΔF508 mutation in the CFTR gene, leading to misfolding and degradation of the CFTR protein. Although CFTR modulators such as elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) provide clinical benefit, their ...

CFTR Modulators: The Changing Face of Cystic Fibrosis in the Era of Precision Medicine

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal inherited disease caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which result in impairment of CFTR mRNA and protein expression, function, stability or a combination of these.

Linearized and High Frequency Electrooptic Modulators [PDF]

, 2005
An analysis is performed of many standard and linearized electrooptic modulators known in the industry. The transfer functions of these modulators are evaluated under a consistent set of performance figures of merit, which are gain and spur-free dynamic

Experience to date with CFTR modulators during pregnancy and breastfeeding in the British Columbia Cystic Fibrosis clinic

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2022
The introduction and rapid uptake of CFTR modulator therapy, in addition to other treatments, has significantly increased life expectancy in CF and provided more women the opportunity to consider and successfully be managed throughout pregnancy. There is
