European Respiratory Journal, 2014 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently a leading cause of death worldwide, but the burden of disease shared by females is particularly heavy. In the USA alone, the number of deaths among females has quadrupled since 1980 and now exceeds male deaths from COPD; hospitalisation of females due to the disease also now surpasses that of ...

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...
