Abstract excerpt
The cellular basis of cystic fibrosis (CF) is a defect in a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-activated chloride channel (CF transmembrane conductance regulator) in epithelial cells that leads to decreased chloride ion transport and impaired water transport across the cell membrane. This study investigated whether it was possible to activate the defective chloride channel in cystic fibrosis respiratory...
