The capability of measuring minute amounts of insulin aids diabetes treatment (April 14, 2008)- April 14, 2008 A new method that uses nanotechnology to rapidly measure minute amounts of insulin is a major step toward developing the ability to assess the health of the body's insulin-producing cells in real time. Among other potential applications, such a capability can be used to improve the efficacy of a new procedure for treating type 1 diabetes that has demonstrated the ability to free diabetics from insulin injections for several years.http://www.vanderbilt.edu/exploration/text/index.php?action=view_section&id=1392&s... |
