Comparative analysis of human tear fluid and aqueous humor proteomes

CONCLUSION: Although tear fluid and the AH are functionally independent and physically separated, many of the proteins detected in AH were also detected in tears. This direct comparison of the proteomic content of tear fluid and AH may aid in further investigation of tear fluid as a source of readily accessible biomarkers for various human diseases.PMID:38561100 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtos.2024.03.011
