- Nanobody penetrates human cells and repairs misfolded CFTR chloride channel (per source)
- Researchers engineered the nanobody and demonstrated functional restoration in cystic fibrosis cell models (per source)
- CFTR activity increased markedly, indicating therapeutic potential (per source)
Why it matters: It could restore chloride transport in cystic fibrosis patients, potentially benefiting those with mutations unresponsive to current drugs.
