The embodiments relate to improved skin quality, health and appearance using a new delivery method and certain bioactive compositions and formulations. The system incorporates microneedle delivery technology with unique compositions and formulations. Such development allows for the pursuit of personalized medicine, or treatment delivery that can expand to remote controlled environment, immediate compounding and ultimate personalization with a state of the art longitudinal data predictive analytics. Certain formulations described herein are unique, combinatory and synergistic. Secured by high-tech proprietary system, there are unlimited potentials using AQT technology including but not limited to 3-D printing of a biodegradable micro chips that can be delivered via injection, AQT or any other possible route.

Methods are provided for treating and diagnosing diseases and disorders associated with retinal degeneration, such as retinitis pigmentosa. Dietary supplementation with specific metabolites and vitamins can prolong vision and provide a neuroprotective effect. In particular, dietary supplementation with α-ketoglutarate, or a derivative thereof, significantly prolongs photoreceptor cell survival and visual function. In addition, dietary supplementation with B vitamins and a ketogenic diet also improves photoreceptor cell survival and delays disease progression in some cases. Additionally, compositions, methods, and kits are provided for diagnosing a subject with retinitis pigmentosa based on expression levels of vitreous biomarkers.
