About

This study is an ambispective cohort study, the sample from patients were from both previously stored and freshly collected . The objective of this study is to investigate the molecular pathological changes underlying the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We will use single cell sequencing technology to analyze lung tissue samples from patients who underwent lung resection, with lung tissue from patients without COPD serving as controls. This research aims to provide insights into the pathogenesis of COPD.

Enrollment: 150 estimated patients
