Emphasizing the urgent need to clearly understand the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in COPD, this reference provides an up-to-date perspective on the inflammatory cells, mediators, and molecular pathology of COPD. With chapters by international authorities on the subject, this reference presents advances in our understanding of cellular mechanisms, cell signaling, and gene expression relevant to COPD, new approaches that may prevent the progression of COPD, research on corticosteroid resistance in COPD, and studies on the development of new pharmaceuticals to control the underlying inflammatory and damaging processes that trigger COPD
