1 Cystinosis is a rare disease caused by homozygous mutations of the CTNS gene, encoding a cystine efflux channel in the lysosomal membrane. Cystine cystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter Homo sapiens
2 Here we show that human mesenchymal stem cells, from amniotic fluid or bone marrow, reduce pathologic cystine accumulation in co-cultured CTNS mutant fibroblasts or proximal tubular cells from cystinosis patients. Cystine cystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter Homo sapiens
