Indian scientists develop a silk-based hydrogel system mimicking the pancreas for diabetes insulin delivery.

Indian scientists develop a silk-based hydrogel system that mimics the pancreas, providing a potential advancement in insulin delivery for diabetes patients. This novel system senses low insulin levels in the blood and triggers its release, addressing challenges faced by individuals with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The goal is to create a continuous, controlled insulin supply in response to elevated glucose levels for diabetes management.
