Relationship Between Proteinase with a Disintegrin and a Metalloproteinase Domain-9 (ADAM9) Inflammation Airway Remodeling and Emphysema in COPD Patients

摘要

The link between ADAM9 and airway remodeling and emphysema severity in COPD patients has not been elucidated. Here, we investigated the relationship between ADAM9 levels in sputum and airway epithelium and the clinical characteristics of COPD patients.
