Background and objective
Activation of the blood coagulation system is a common observation in inflammatory diseases. The role of coagulation in COPD is underexplored.

The study included 413 COPD patients and 49 controls from the 3‐year Bergen COPD Cohort Study (BCCS). One hundred and forty‐eight COPD patients were also examined during AECOPD. The plasma markers of coagulation activation,...
Background
Bronchial asthma is a chronic disease characterized by inflammation, obstruction, and hyperresponsiveness of the airways. There is currently no curative therapy for asthma. Type 2 helper T cell response plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Protein S is a glycoprotein endowed with anticoagulant, anti‐inflammatory, and anti‐apoptotic properties. Whether protein S can...
We previously showed that exposure to UV radiation after immunization suppresses Th1 and Th2 immune responses, leading to impaired Ab and allo‐immune responses, but the impact of UV radiation after immunization on anti‐tumor immune responses mediated by tumor‐specific CD8+ T cell responses remains less clear. Furthermore, the exact phenotypic and functional characteristics of regulatory T cell population...
