Spatially Profiling Trace Cytokine Signatures From Microscopically Derived Skin Samples to Probe Skin Disease Inflammation

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Inflammatory skin diseases are driven by immune dysregulation and cytokine imbalance. A challenge persists in profiling cytokines in microscopically derived biopsy skin samples due to low protein content. This study introduces a digital SERS immunoassay to simultaneously detect IL‐17A, IL‐22, IL‐23, and TNF at trace concentrations as low as 104 aM. The
