Abstract:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a condition characterized by chronic airway inflammation and obstruction, primarily caused by tobacco smoking. Although the involvement of immune cells in COPD pathogenesis is well established, the contribution of innate lymphoid cells (ILC) remains poorly understood. ILC are a type of innate immune cells that participate in tissue remodeling processes, but their specific role in COPD has not been fully elucidated. During COPD, the breakdown of pulmonary elastin … Show more
