The Potential Role and Regulatory Mechanisms of MUC5AC in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality globally. Studies show that airway mucus hypersecretion strongly compromises lung function, leading to frequent hospitalization and mortality, highlighting an urgent need for effective COPD treatments. MUC5A...
