    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • mice lacking functional CFTR (Cftrdelta508) have no lung phenotype but show similar ileal problems to humans, but properties of the ileal mucus of CF mice were normalized by secretion into a high concentration sodium bicarbonate buffer
  • severe osteopenia and altered bone architecture were found in young and mature adult F508del Cftr(tm1Eur) mice
