Abstract

In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Douglas et al. describe a potent, specific, and cell-permeable furin inhibitor that interacts with a cryptic binding site to rescue hallmarks of cystic fibrosis in human ex vivo models. BOS-318 holds promise for development of therapeutics targeting an array of furin-dependent pathologies.
