This session will cover recent discoveries in CF basic biology and physiology, including the identification of cell type-specific CFTR expression and function, advances in understanding CFTR structure, and new mechanistic insights into CFTR intracellular trafficking and degradation. It will provide an integrated opportunity to explore the fundamental roles of CFTR in the pathogenesis of CF and to link the latest knowledge regarding CFTR biology to the development of novel potential therapeutics.
