The intestinal mucosa with its characteristic invaginations, the intestinal crypts (blue). At the lower end of the crypts are the CFTR channels, whose function is impaired in cystic fibrosis. As the Charité research team was able to demonstrate, the triple therapy nearly completely restores the function of these channels in young children. © Charité | Jasmin Berger
