Chronic airway diseases mainly include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, and other pulmonary diseases. With the high smoking rate and serious air pollution, chronic airway diseases maintain high morbidity. COPD is the third leading cause of death in the world and has become a global public health problem; besides, nearly 0.40 million people per year died from asthma worldwide. In conclusion, chronic airway diseases seriously endanger human health; it is particularly critical to carry out innovation and transformation research for the early diagnosis and treatment of chronic airway diseases.
Chronic airway diseases demonstrate high morbidity and mortality, which increase social-economic burdens worldwide. Early diagnosis and treatment are of great practical significance for the prevention and control of chronic airway diseases. This Research Topic aims to collect innovation and transformation research in fields related to the pathogenesis and treatment of chronic airway diseases, to provide new alternatives for early diagnosis and treatment of chronic airway diseases.
At present, the following research directions deserve attention:
·Studies on novel molecular mechanisms of epigenetics in the pathogenesis of chronic airway diseases, such as m6A methylation modification;
·Studies on novel molecular mechanisms of extracellular vesicles in the pathogenesis and treatment of chronic airway diseases;
·Transformation and application of stem cells from different sources in the treatment of chronic airway diseases;
·Transformation and application of small-molecule drugs in the treatment of chronic airway diseases.
