Chronic respiratory disorders have a global impact on millions of people. Pathophysiological changes in the structure of the airway wall, known as airway remodeling, contribute to the inadequate treatment and management of these diseases. Advanced drug delivery methods offer advantages in combating the complications of airway remodeling.
Chronic respiratory disorders (CRDs) affect millions of people worldwide. Pathophysiological changes to the normal airway wall structure, including changes in the composition and organization of its cellular and molecular constituents, are referred to as airway remodeling. The inadequacy of effective treatment strategies and scarcity of novel therapies available for the treatment and management of chronic respiratory diseases have given rise to a serious impediment in the clinical management of such diseases. The progress made in advanced drug delivery, has offered additional advantages to fight against the emerging complications of airway remodeling. This review aims to address the gaps in current knowledge about airway remodeling, the relationships between remodeling, inflammation, clinical phenotypes and the significance of using novel drug delivery methods.
