European Respiratory Review, 2019 Sphingolipids are a distinct class of lipid molecules widely found in nature, principally as cell membrane constituents. After initial uncertainty about their function, sphingolipids have been increasingly recognised to be metabolically active entities involved in many biological processes, including the control of inflammation. Their role as mediators

Respiratory Medicine, 2005 The multicomponent nature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has provided a challenging environment in which to develop successful treatments. A combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches is used to combat this problem, and an overview of these approaches and their possible future direction is given.

Thorax, 2015 Dear Editor, We read with great interest the paper by Jones et al 1 about the prevalence, clinical correlates and response to pulmonary rehabilitation of sarcopenia in COPD. We believe that authors have meritoriously focused their attention on a highly relevant topic, which is the skeletal muscle decline in patients with COPD. Sarcopenia represents a
