tailieunhanh - Molecular Basis of Pulmonary Disease Insights from Rare Lung Disorders

Dr. Sharon Rounds, the editor for this series who invited us to write a book on rare lung diseases, developed the idea after attending the 2004 Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) Foundation annual research meeting. She was a keynote speaker at that event (during her tenure as the president of the American Thoracic Society) and was witness to the power of patient advocacy and the mission-based scientific effort that had brought this rare disease of women from obscurity to clinical trials with targeted molecular therapies in under a decade. The progress in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM), inherited disorders of surfactant metabolism, and pulmonary arterial hypertension, to name. | Molecular Basis of Pulmonary Disease Insights from Rare Lung Disorders Edited by Francis X.
