ECHO device restores normal sugar levels for weeks
Researchers from Switzerland and France developed the wireless implant ECHO, which uses electrocatalysis to remove excess glucose from the bloodstream on demand. In tests on mice with diabesity, the device autonomously regulated metabolism without using any drugs.
- Field
- genetics and genomes
- What they did
- Researchers from Switzerland and France developed an implantable device called ECHO, which uses electrocatalysis to remove excess glucose from the blood without drugs.
- Why it matters
- The device successfully controlled blood sugar levels in mice with diabetes and obesity for several weeks, offering a potential non-drug treatment for 'diabesity'.
