Pulmonary Pharmacology provides in-depth reviews on the latest progresses about respiratory medicine research. Topics covered in this volume include bronchodilators, corticosteroids, monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and phosphodiesterase inhibitors for the treatments of asthma, COPD or pulmonary fibrosis, with insights on the development of novel therapeutic strategies such as specialized pro-resolving mediators, casein kinase inhibitor, renin-angiotensin system modulator and non-antimicrobial macrolides. Part of the volume is devoted to the pharmacology of asthma and COPD exacerbations, senotherapy for lung ageing, and novel delivery technologies for inhalational therapy. Provides accurate reviews from leading experts on the topic of pulmonary pharmacology Each chapter of the volume provides consolidated graphical materials for ease of reading for the audience Provides the latest insights and future perspectives on the drug discovery and development for respiratory diseases INDICE: Preface W.S.
