Brief Summary: This study tested a new biosensor, named depth-gated mid-infrared optoacoustic sensor (DIROS), which uses intravital mid-infrared optoacoustic signals, for accurate non-invasive measurement of glucose concentrations in blood-rich volumes of the skin. DIROS provided in-blood glucose measurements with better accuracy and sensitivity than methods that measured glucose in the interstitial fluid.Non-invasive glucose monitoring is an attractive ...

Brief Summary: This experimental study used positron emission tomography (PET) as non-invasive method to monitor stem cells-islet grafts. [18F]exendin and [18F]FDOPA PET showed potential as non-invasive methods to assess stem cells-islet graft size and aspects of graft composition.Stem cell-derived islets (SC-islets) are used as an emerging cell replacement therapy for insulin-dependent diabetes (1). Non-invasive long-term monitorin...
