Altered functional interactions between CFTR disease mutants ΔF508 and G551D and the protein kinase A catalytic subunit. [PDF]
Abstract figure legend Pathogenic mutations ΔF508 and G551D of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel alter its interactions with protein kinase A (PKA). Top left, for both mutants, but not for wild‐type (WT) CFTR, non‐catalytic stimulation of channel activity by PKA is larger in the presence of N6‐(2‐phenylethyl)‐ATP (P‐

CFTR Modulators in People with Cystic Fibrosis: Real-World Evidence in France
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare genetic multisystemic disease, the manifestations of which are due to mutations in the gene encoding the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein and can lead to respiratory insufficiency and premature death ...

Cystic fibrosis modulator therapy can reverse cystic bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is often considered progressive and irreversible, so cases of regression or reversal are an important step in understanding the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.

Impact of COVID-19 and CFTR Modulators on Cystic Fibrosis: A Real-World Analysis of Care Patterns. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Novel therapeutics and rapid expansion of telehealth have reshaped cystic fibrosis (CF) care; however, the impact on visit patterns and equitable access across the CF population remains unclear. We characterized changes in visit patterns from 2017 to 2022 and the association of sociodemographic and clinical factors with visit ...
