Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adhm201470027-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>On page 811, Y. Jing, Z. Gu and co‐workers present the integration of an injectable nano‐network with a focused ultrasound system (FUS) which can remotely regulate insulin release both in vitro and in vivo. Serving as a synthetic insulin reservoir, the nano‐network consisting of adhesive biodegradable nanoparticles promotes insulin release upon FUS triggers in a pulsatile, remote and non‐invasive control manner.
