There is an unmet need to identify biomarkers of active thyroid eye disease (TED). scRNAseq revealed that orbital fibroblasts from orbital decompressions in people with TED express high levels of thyroid hormone receptors, growth factor receptors, including insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), and extracellular matrix proteins including SPARC (osteonectin), whereas orbital fat endothelial cells expressed thyroid peroxidase (TPO). SPARC was significantly raised in the serum of people w...
