Abstract
Extract
COPD is an increasingly prevalent, progressive and often debilitating lung disease, currently the third leading cause of death globally. While commonly considered a disease of smokers, common causes of COPD also include environmental pollution, infection, pre- and peri-natal life insults, and genetic predisposition [1, 2]. Current therapies are limited to reducing the burden of symptoms or exacerbations, but do not fundamentally alter the trajectory of the disease.
