Researchers have discovered that the same cellular mechanism involved in a form of cystic fibrosis is also implicated in a form of a rare disease called cystinosis. The mechanism cleans up mutated ...

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) impacts roughly 35,000 people in the United States. CF results in a mutated form of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), leading to dysfunction of a ...
