Stimuli-sensitive drug carriers can aid in the treatment of diabetes as glucose biosensors and glucose-triggered insulin delivery systems.
"Smart" nano-network can control insulin release for diabetes treatment
Researchers have developed a network of nanoscale particles that can be injected into the body and release insulin when blood-sugar levels rise.
Curing diabetes, with a little help from polymer science: coating could make widespread treatment a reality
American researchers report new coating to improve promising treatment for Type 1 diabetes.
Liver protein linked to weight loss during intermittent fasting
The protein helps convert white fat tissue into calorie-burning beige fat, providing a potential target for weight loss and obesity treatments.
Silk microneedles could restore wound healing in diabetic patients
Microneedles allow scientists to precisely control the delivery of drugs to chronic wound sites and restore natural healing processes.
Molecules secreted by parasitic worms found to reduce scarring during wound healing
Researchers have discovered that a protein produced by parasitic worms in the gut enhances wound healing in mice.
Zwitterions speed up healing in diabetic wounds
Zwitterionic hydrogels boost healing in diabetic wounds by balancing the immune response, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue growth.
New study reveals immune system impact in polycystic ovary syndrome
1 in 10 women suffer from polycystic ovarian syndrome, yet its fundamental workings remain largely unknown.
Electronic socks prevent foot-related complications in diabetic patients
An electronic sock detects an “unhealthy” walking style linked with diabetes and poor circulation to prevent foot ulcers and amputation.
Wearable patch monitors blood sugar via sweat
An energy-harvesting wearable patch continuously monitors blood sugar levels via sweat to prevent hypoglycemic events in diabetic patients.
