By potentially regulating the recruitment, survival, and activation of these cells, MIR6511A2 may contribute to the persistent inflammation and tissue remodeling that lead to the irreversible airflow limitation seen in COPD."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n \nOverall, these insights point to a functional role for MIR6511A2 as a molecular mediator in lung inflammation and remodeling.
