Abstract excerpt
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) involves chronic inflammation with potential involvement of natural killer (NK) cells, but NK cell-related diagnostic markers remain limited. This study aimed to identify NK cell-related hub genes and construct a risk model for COPD. Methods: This work was mainly based on multiple transcriptomic datasets, including single-cell RNA-seq data (GSE173896, 5...
