Chapter 14 Proteomics and remodeling of extracellular matrix in lung diseases
This chapter summarizes the proteomic tools and strategies used in asthma research. It provides a background to the remodeling process occurring in the lung—in diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)—as well as a description of the status of the current proteomics techniques. It also describes strategies for the discovery of disease markers that can be used to moni
