Shorter telomere length in COPD cases secondary to biomass-burning smoke exposure

Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by progressive airflow obstruction and destruction of lung tissue, primarily attributed to tobacco smoking. However, other factors like biomass-burning smoke (BS) exposure are also implicated. COPD has been described a...
