中文摘要
COPD是不治之症,是导致死亡的主要原因,迫切需要新的治疗方法。自噬是细胞对压力条件的一种反应,然而自噬增加是有害的。我们将调查自噬增加与COPD和吸烟的关系,并评估可以减少自噬的治疗方法,包括与锌相关的药物和新型抗生素,这些药物已被修改为失去抗菌活性。
英文摘要
COPD is incurable, a leading cause of death, and new therapies are urgently needed. Autophagy is a cell response to cell stress conditions, however increased autophagy is harmful. We will investigate the association of increased autophagy with COPD and smoking and evaluate therapies that can reduce autophagy, including zinc-related drugs and novel antibiotics that have been modified to lose their anti-bacterial activity.
