Black carbon content in airway macrophages is associated with increased severe exacerbations and worse COPD morbidity in SPIROMICS
BACKGROUND: Airway macrophages (AM), crucial for the immune response in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are exposed to environmental particulate matter (PM), which they retain in their cytoplasm as black carbon (BC). However, whether AM BC accurately reflects environmental PM(2.5) expo...
