Abstract

The article discusses limitations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) studies in animal models. It states that though animal models have helped to understand the disease, they have failed to get translated into human beings with drugs which are effective in these models. It mentions that cigarette smoke (CS) cannot be represented in mice as they don't produce mucus in their bronchial tract.
