Image: The illustration depicts glucose-responsive exendin-4 delivery via microneedle patch. At left, relatively lower glucose levels (turquoise) in blood induce a mild chemical reaction with the compounds in the patch, which is not sufficient to release exendin-4. At right, when blood glucose concentration rises, acidity in blood triggers rapid release of exendin-4 (pink) for blood glucose regulation. The result is a smart, long-acting and on-demand exendin-4 release (Photo courtesy of the Chen laboratory, National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering).

Smart Release Skin Patch Corrects Type II Diabetes in Model

A novel approach for treating type II diabetes is based on microneedle-array patches that are loaded with dual mineralized protein/peptide particles that release the hormone exendin-4 in response to elevated blood sugar levels. More...
