Paired Tear Fluid - Plasma Inflammatory Profiling Identifies Compartment-Specific Biomarkers for Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Macular Edema.
OBJECTIVE: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a primary contributor to vision loss worldwide and growing with an increase in the elderly population. CONCLUSION: Tears exhibit more DEPs than plasma during the progression of DR and DME, and the two sample types show opposite inflammatory factor expression trends.
