Abstract excerpt
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a risk factor for lung cancer development. COPD induces activation of hypoxia-induced signaling, causing remodeling of surrounding microenvironmental cells also modulating the release and cargo of their extracellular vesicles (EVs). We aimed to evaluate the potential role of circulating EVs from COPD subjects in lung cancer onset. Plasma-EVs were isolated by...
