摘要: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare and heterogeneous genetic disorder that affects the structure function of motile cilia. In airway epithelium, impaired motion results in reduced or absent mucociliary clearance leads to appearance chronic infection, sinusitis, bronchiectasis. Currently, there no effective treatment for PCD, research limited by lack convenient models study this disease investigate innovative therapies. Furthermore, high heterogeneity PCD genotypes likely hinder development single therapy all patients. The generation patient-derived, induced pluripotent stem cells, their differentiation into as well genome editing technologies, could represent major tools vitro modeling developing personalized Here, we review pathogenesis then discuss how human cells be used model innovative, patient-specific biotherapies.
