Endothelial Cell Proteins as Biomarkers in Susac Syndrome
ABSTRACT Objective Susac syndrome (SS) is a rare CD8+ T cell–mediated microangiopathy affecting the brain, retina, and auditory labyrinth. Endothelial injury is thought to be a central mechanism; however, no circulating disease biomarkers are known. We performed targeted proteomic profiling to identify circulating endothelial‐associated proteins as ...

Self‐Sealing Microneedles Improve Precision and Reduce Reflux in Subretinal Cell Transplantation
Ultrafine 49G microneedles enable subretinal delivery of induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived retinal pigment epithelial cells through a 50 µm outer diameter tip. Compared with conventional 38G microcannulas, these microneedles reduce cell suspension reflux in a rabbit model, highlighting the potential of microinvasive delivery instruments to improve ...
