abstract：:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by an abnormal regulatory T cell (T(reg)) response and increases in T helper type 1 (Th1) and Th17 cell responses. It is unclear if dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNA) within T(reg) cells contributes to the abnormal inflammatory response in COPD. In this stu...
