Aqueous KRT8 levels were studied in nAMD patients treated with ranibizumab. Higher baseline KRT8 and persistent elevation predicted poorer treatment response, suggesting KRT8 monitors RPE health and treatment efficacy.

This study found elevated aqueous sCD14, a marker of inflammation, strongly correlates with hyperreflective foci in diabetic macular edema, suggesting activated microglia contribute to disease severity.

This meta-analysis found repeated anti-VEGF injections for AMD were not broadly associated with RNFL thinning, but higher-quality studies suggested some RNFL loss, warranting further investigation into long-term effects.

Diabetic macular edema patients showed elevated aqueous humor DKK-3 levels, particularly with inner nuclear layer swelling. This suggests DKK-3, possibly from Müller cells, is a biomarker and potential therapeutic target for DME.
