“Our idea is to develop lymphotoxin beta receptor blockers for COPD which reduce lung epithelial cell death and lung inflammation. The automatic activation of Wnt signaling could then induce lung tissue regeneration,” Yildirim said.
“One of the biggest issues in COPD is that the lung cannot regenerate itself,” he added. “Therefore, a treatment that cures the disease needs to focus on lung tissue regeneration and blocking of lung epithelial cell death.”
