Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality around the globe. Its main characteristics are persistent respiratory symptoms and progressive airflow limitation, both of which are driven by chronic inflammation. Despite the use of maximum bronchodilation and in selected patients inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), current therapies neither halt disease progression nor prevent exacerbations and loss of lung function. Recent research has focused on developing novel anti-inflammatory agents targeting specific pathways implicated in COPD pathogenesis, ai
