Impaired function of regulatory T-cells in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Impaired function of regulatory T-cells in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Anti-inflammatory pathways affecting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are poorly understood. Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are important negative regulators of T-cell activity and hence were investigated in COPD patients in this study. We hypothesised that functional defects in Tregs may pr...
