A Comparison of Emotionally Stimulated and Conventionally Collected Tears Using Bottom‐Up, Label‐Free Quantitative Proteomic Analysis—A Pilot Study

PROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Proteomic analysis of biofluids is central for identifying disease biomarkers. Tears have become popular targets for biomarker discovery and biosensor development, largely because they can be collected noninvasively and are rich sources of biomarkers for ocular and systemic diseases. Although basal and reflex tears have been well characterized,
