摘要
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is common and there is an increasing worldwide prevalence. There are no available treatments to prevent the progression of airflow obstruction, but greater understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in COPD has identified many new therapeutic targets, including inflammatory mediators, proteases and adhesion molecules. In this review, Peter Barnes considers potential new drugs for this neglected disease.
