In vitro and in vivo testing of glucose-responsive insulin-delivery microdevices in diabetic rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have developed glucose-responsive implantable microdevices for closed-loop delivery of insulin and conducted in vivo testing of these devices in diabetic rats. The microdevices consist of an albumin-based bioinorganic membrane that utilizes glucose oxidase (GOx), catalase (CAT) and manganese dioxide (MnO(2)) nanoparticles to convert a change in the environmental glucose level to a pH stimulus, which regulates the volume of pH-sensitive hydrogel nanoparticles and thereby the permeability of the membrane. The membrane is integrated with microfabricated PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) structures to form compact, stand-alone microdevices, which do not require tethering wires or tubes. During in vitro testing, the microdevices showed glucose-responsive insulin release over multiple cycles at clinically relevant glucose concentrations. In vivo, the microdevices were able to counter hyperglycemia in diabetic rats over a one-week period. The in vitro and in vivo testing results demonstrated the efficacy of closed-loop biosensing and rapid response of the 'smart' insulin delivery devices.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
