Study Identifies Possible Therapeutic Target To Treat Asthma And COPD

New research examines the role of PKC in airway smooth muscle contraction and raises the possibility that this enzyme could be a therapeutic target for treating asthma, COPD, and other lung diseases. In the lungs, pathological increases in the contraction of the smooth muscle cells (SMCs) lining airway walls - a process that decreases airflow - contribute to the chain of events leading to asthma and COPD, two common lung diseases... via Health News from Medical News Today Read More Here..
