A Mechanism for Altered Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Biosynthesis in Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a debilitating, multi-organ, autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations leading to absence of functional cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in epithelial cells. Chronic pulmonary disease, characterized by excessive inflammation and recurrent infec...
