* Researchers compared 136 children diagnosed with asthma to 85 healthy controls, finding that serum 14-3-3β levels were significantly higher in the asthma group.
* The combination of serum 14-3-3β protein, FeNO, and specific lung function metrics showed a high diagnostic accuracy for asthma, with a sensitivity of 88.9% and specificity of 93.7%, indicating it could greatly enhance detection methods for the condition.
