PMN-MDSCs tied to outcomes, antibiotic response in bronchiectasis

19 Aug 2025

Polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) can set up an immunosuppressive microenvironment in the lung via arginase-1 (ARG-1) bronchiectasis, which is linked to clinical outcomes and response to antibiotic treatment among patients with bronchiectasis, suggests a study.
