Distinct skeletal muscle molecular responses to pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a cornerstone in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), targeting skeletal muscle to improve functional performance. However, there is substantial inter-individual variability in the effect of PR on functional performance, which cannot be fully accounted for by generic phenotypic factors. We performed an unbiased integrative analysis of the skeletal muscle molecular ...
