Blood protein fingerprint may reveal lung disease secrets

NCT ID NCT00793676

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether a family of proteins called GPCRs, found on the surface of cells, can be used as biomarkers to diagnose or track chronic lung diseases like asthma and COPD. Researchers analyzed blood samples from 205 people (healthy volunteers and patients) to see if the GPCR profile changes with disease. The goal is to create a GPCR "identity card" for each disease, which could help doctors monitor disease progression or treatment effectiveness.
