Drug Delivery: Microneedles Integrated with Pancreatic Cells and Synthetic Glucose‐Signal Amplifiers for Smart Insulin Delivery (Adv. Mater. 16/2016). Issue 16 (April 2016) - Ye, Yanqi
Abstract : A bio‐responsive microneedle‐based patch, integrated with a rhodamine‐stained glucose‐signal amplifier and calcein‐AM‐stained pancreatic β‐cell capsules, is developed by Z. Gu and co‐workers. This "smart cell patch", described on page 3115, effectively regulates the blood glucose level of type‐1 diabetic mice, achieving a reduction for over 10 h. Image credit: Yanqi Ye.
