Plasma mi RNAs might be promising biomarkers of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
8 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We previously showed that microRNAs (miRNAs) in plasma are potential biomarkers for cigarette smoking-related lung fibrosis. Here, we want to find out promising miRNAs for early detection of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
