Abstract

En 中文
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents a major global health burden, prompting substantial efforts to identify and promote novel therapeutic strategies. However, the physiological relevance of conventional two-dimensional cell culture systems often limits the effectiveness of high-throughput screening approaches. This review explores three-dimensional models that better reproduce key structural and functional features of this complex, multifactorial disease. Particular attention is given to their application in evaluating emerging therapeutic approaches, including probiotics and extracellular vesicle-associated microRNAs.
