The path to personalised medicine in COPD

Abstract: Our understanding of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has changed dramatically over the past two decades. We have moved from an airflow limitationcentric view to the realisation that COPD is a complex and heterogeneous disease, which leads inevitably to the need for personalising the assessment and treatment of patients with COPD. This review provides a brief perspective of the extraordinary transition that the COPD field has experienced in the last two decades, and speculates on how it should/can … Show more

“…They are research strategies aimed at investigating the pathobiological basis of health and disease from a holistic, integrative view. Given the complexity of human biology discussed above, such strategy is absolutely needed if we are to really make progress towards a more efficient and safe, personalized and precise medicine in the years to come 2,[56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] . So, as sharply proposed by one of the anonymous reviewers of this paper, system biology is actually attempting to understand the master drawing that the creator had in mind.…”
