Blood protein fingerprint may reveal lung disease secrets

NCT ID NCT00793676

First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study looked at whether a family of proteins called GPCRs, found on the surface of cells, could be used as biomarkers to help diagnose or track chronic lung diseases like asthma and COPD. Researchers analyzed blood samples from 205 people (healthy volunteers and patients) to see if these proteins change in disease. The goal was to create a GPCR "identity card" for each disease, which might one day help doctors choose treatments or monitor disease progression.
