Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Expansion of CFTR modulators to patients with rare/undescribed mutations will be facilitated by patient-derived models quantifying CFTR function and restoration. We aimed to generate a personalized model system of CFTR function and modulation using non-surgically obtained nasal epithelial cells (NECs). METHODS: NECs obtained by curettage from healthy volunteers and CF patients were expanded and grown...
