Tears could open new avenue for diagnosing and monitoring eye and neurodegenerative diseases

Ocular fluids provide a window into the health of the eye and the development of various pathologies. However, their study usually involves invasive techniques. “A wide range of eye diseases are being investigated, but the methods for obtaining aqueous humor and vitreous humor, the fluids inside the eye, are highly invasive, which limits their applicability in routine clinical practice,” explains Marta San Roque, Ph.D. student in the Innovation in Vesicles and Cells for Application in Therapy (IVECAT) Group at the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP).

However, they face limitations in determining the results of drug effectiveness, as well as ensuring even distribution among all cancer cells because of the highly compact nature of tumors. Researchers are working to change that by giving chemotherapy drugs a kind of chemical “signal” that allows them to be tracked inside of cells.
