Glucocorticosteroids differentially regulate MMP-9 and neutrophil elastase in COPD.
<h4>Background</h4>Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is currently the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. Neutrophilic inflammation is prominent, worsened during infective exacerbations and is refractory to glucocorticosteroids (GCs). Deregulated neutrophilic inflammation...
