Exacerbations Lead to Worsening Lung Function
Dr. Mario Castro discusses how COPD exacerbations can predict future exacerbations and lead to progressive lung function loss in COPD patients.
Lung Function Decline: Why it Matters and What’s at Stake for Patients
Understand the drivers of lung function decline in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic inflammation, key risk factors, and the impact on patient well-being .

Explore the role of chronic type 2 inflammation in the cycle of exacerbations and worsening lung function in asthma patients.
Uncovering the Impact of Moderate COPD Exacerbations
Understand the impact of moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations on future exacerbation risk, lung function decline, mortality, and patient quality of life.
ERS 2025 | The Knowns and Unknowns in the COPD Landscape
Join Profs. Dave Singh and Klaus Rabe as they examine the clinical relevance of exacerbations, lung function, symptoms, quality of life, and comorbidities in COPD, as well as the evolving concept of disease stability and what that could mean for treatment planning and the future of COPD care.
What Is The COPD Vicious Cycle?
Dr. Nicola Hanania explains the vicious cycle of exacerbations and lung function decline observed in COPD.
Clinical Manifestations Associated With Airway Remodeling in Asthma

World Lung Day 2024
September 25th marks this year’s observance and celebration of World Lung Day!
Mucus Plugging as a Potential Target in Asthma Management
Join Dr. Celeste Porsbjerg as she explores the mechanisms underlying mucus plugging development as mucociliary clearance. She explains how type 2 cytokines—particularly IL-13—impair this clearance mechanism, leading to mucus plugging, and worsened asthma outcomes.
