A hypothesis for the initiation of COPD.

The European respiratory journal - 1 Aug 2009

Abstract excerpt

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is generally thought to depend on an aberrant immune response to a noxious or infectious agent, which may cause chronic inflammation. However, the initiation of this abnormal response is not fully understood. Here, we propose a new hypothesis for the b...
