Topical lung delivery could improve the poise between risk and benefit.IPF biomarker improved by ICS/LABA http://ow.ly/CHub30gzHryA.H. Morice, S.P. Hart and M.G. Crooks conceived and designed the study; K. Brindle, C.E. Wright and S.D. Fraser acquired the data during the study, and S.D. Fraser, C.E. Wright, A.H. Morice, S.P. Hart, M.G. Crooks analysed and interpreted those data; C.E. Wright, A.H. Morice, S.P. Hart and M.G. Crooks drafted the manuscript, and all authors critically reviewed it and approved the submitted version. ER -
