Abstract excerpt
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), severe asthma, and asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) represent a major global burden of chronic airway inflammation, often remaining inadequately controlled by current corticosteroid and biologic therapies. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have emerged as a shared effector mechanism in these phenotypes, with neutrophil mitochondria acting as the upstream switch for...
