•Shaking sensor continuously monitors inflammation
77% Informative
First -of-its-kind sensor monitors fluctuating proteins within the body in real time.
Device comprises strands of DNA that stick to proteins, shake them off and grab more proteins.
Device could track protein markers for other illnesses, including heart failure.
Device 's design is analogous to a continuous glucose monitor that sits on your arm and measures levels beneath your skin.
Sensors bind to two protein cytokines, which are key markers of inflammation.
When rats fasted or received insulin, the sensors tracked cytokine levels as they drifted down.
Conversely, when researchers injected the rats with a substance that agitates the immune system, the inflammatory levels rapidly shot up.
The sensors were so sensitive, the device detected a spike in inflammation where the needle pierced the skin.
