ER Stress Biomarkers in COPD: Key Indicators for Management
Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) encompasses a spectrum of chronic inflammatory lung diseases characterized by persistent airflow limitation and progressive decline in lung function. Beyond traditional risk factors like tobacco exposure, accumulating evidence highlights the role of cellular stress responses—particularly endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress—in COPD pathogenesis. ER stress activates the unfolded protein response (UPR),…

ER Stress-Related Biomarkers in COPD: Unlocking New Insights for Diagnosis and Therapy
Understanding ER Stress and COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex, heterogeneous condition marked by persistent inflammation and progressive decline in lung function. Recent research highlights the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress as a key cellular stress response in COPD. When misfolded proteins accumulate in the ER, a signaling cascade known as…

ER Stress Biomarkers in COPD: Key Indicators of Disease Activity
Introduction to ER Stress and COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous respiratory condition marked by persistent inflammation, airway remodeling, and progressive loss of lung function. In recent years, researchers have turned to cellular stress pathways to better understand COPD pathogenesis. A central player is endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, a cellular state triggered…

Inflammatory Biomarkers and Ischemic Stroke: Paving the Path to Precision Medicine
Ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. While rapid reperfusion therapies save lives, the broader story of recovery and long‑term function now increasingly hinges on the inflammatory response following cerebral ischemia. Inflammatory biomarkers—measurable indicators of the body’s immune and inflammatory activity—are emerging as linchpins for precision medicine in ischemic stroke. By…

Inflammatory Biomarkers and the Path to Precision Medicine in Ischemic Stroke
Understanding the Dual Role of Inflammation in Ischemic Stroke Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks a vessel, cutting off blood flow to parts of the brain. The resulting cascade includes an inflammatory response that can both harm and help recovery. On one hand, excessive inflammation can exacerbate neuronal injury, disrupt the blood-brain barrier,…
