Targeting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling pathway in Cystic Fibrosis

Abstract Deletion of phenylalanine 508 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (ΔF508 CFTR) is a major cause of cystic fibrosis (CF), one of the most common inherited childhood diseases. ΔF508 CFTR is a trafficking mutant that is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and unab...
