Article Abstract
A disposable, self-powered enzymatic biofuel cell (BFC) sensor integrated with a hollow microneedle array (HMNA) for glucose monitoring in interstitial fluid (ISF) is reported. The HMNA enables painless and minimally invasive ISF extraction. The BFC uses dehydrogenase (GDH) in conjunction with NAD, diaphorase (DI), and vitamin K (VK) serving as electron transfer mediators as the anode catalyst and Prussian blue (PB) as the electrochromic cathode. Glucose oxidation at the anode generates electrons that cause PB to change the color at the cathode, allowing for visual glucose concentration determination. The open-circuit potential (OCP) of the sensor is 0.14 V, with a maximum power density of 0.07 µW·cm, at a glucose concentration of 14 mM. The sensor shows good performance in glucose sensing with a linear relationship between the R/B ratio and glucose concentrations ranging from 0 to 14 mM. This disposable device offers a promising approach for non-invasive and self-powered glucose sensing.

Glucose sensing and signaling are central to cellular metabolic machinery for the regulation of metabolic homeostasis. Glucose sensing has been almost always assumed to be coupled with glucose metabolism; however, recent findings have unraveled metabolism-independent sensing mechanisms. Here, we discuss whether glucose transporters (GLUTs) and sodium-glucose co-transporters (SGLTs) may also function as glucose sensors independent of their roles in transporting glucose.

The incorporation of nanomaterials into smart flexible interfaces is a developing requirement for real-time diagnostics applications. In this work, we report a novel optical fabric-based sensor for the analysis of glucose and hydrogen peroxide (HO), addressing critical needs of healthcare, industrial safety, and environmental analysis. In contrast to traditional rigid substrates, we utilized cotton fabric as a porous and flexible sensing platform, immobilizing cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO₂-NPs) using hydrogel.

However, the aggregation of such DNA-SWCNTs during storage presents a significant challenge. Here, we explored the use of lyophilization combined with various cryoprotectants to enhance the long-term stability and reconstitution of DNA-SWCNTs at room temperature.

Pancreatic β-cell function requires precise regulation of insulin secretory vesicles (ISVs), yet the redox heterogeneity within mature ISVs remains poorly defined. Here, we implement a novel oxidation-sensing system using NPY-fused DsRed1-E5 (Timer) targeted to mature ISVs in INS-1E and human Endoc-βH5 β-cell models. Leveraging Timer's oxidative color transition from green (Low-oxidative) to yellow-red (High-oxidative), supported by independent measurements using the established redox sensor Grx1-roGFP2, we resolve distinct ISV subpopulations.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a gastrointestinal hormone that suppresses postprandial glycemia and appetite. GLP-1 secretion is promoted by various nutrients; however, studies on the effects of orally administered amino acids on GLP-1 secretion are limited. This study investigated the acute effects of l-lysine (Lys) on GLP-1 secretion in vivo and explored the underlying mechanisms.
