Study reveals how cells destroy faulty proteins in cystic fibrosis

The cellular system that degrades faulty proteins created by the cystic fibrosis gene has been identified by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill scientists. Turning off the degradation system allows some proteins to regain their proper shape, offering a new avenue for treatments aimed at curing the disease. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a fatal disease caused by a defective gene that...

Rare Bone Disease Traced To Faulty FOP Gene

The mystery surrounding a rare bone disease called fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) has been resolved following the identification of a mutant gene// linked to the disease. It is this gene that triggers the formation of a second skeleton, making movement impossible. Nearly 2500 individuals are believed to be afflicted with the disease, worldwide. As the disease progresses,...

Cellular System Causing Destruction Of Faulty Proteins In Cystic Fibrosis Identified

Researchers from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have managed to isolate a cellular system responsible for degrading proteins in Cystic Fibrosis. Blocking this// system allows some affected proteins to regain their shape and thus may herald in new treatments for the disease. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a fatal disease caused by a defective gene that produces a misshapen form...
