Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis is a disease caused by a mutation on the CFTR gene coding for a chloride channel. The dominant mutation F508del eliminates the CFTR protein at the surface of epithelial cells, causing an accumulation of viscous mucus in the airways. In advanced stages of the disease, respiratory failure is associated with cellular hypoxia. Our project aims not only to describe the impact of hypoxia on ion channels...
