Article Synopsis
- Researchers investigated the potential of serum 14-3-3β protein as a diagnostic biomarker for stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), particularly in patients unable to undergo standard lung function tests.
- Their study found significantly higher levels of 14-3-3β in stable COPD patients compared to healthy controls, with variations based on disease severity (GOLD stages).
- The results indicate that serum 14-3-3β levels correlate with systemic inflammation and lung function, suggesting its utility in diagnosing COPD with a notable sensitivity (84.9%) and specificity (68.3%).*
