Micro robot-vermi sottocutanei utili nella diagnosi e nella cura. Un sistema avanzatissimo che può delineare diversi scenari: le particelle possono essere eventualmente usate per analisi in tempo reale, come ad esempio monitorare blood sugar levels in diabetics. The results of the study, by Ozaydin-Gozde Ince, J. Matthew Dubachb, Karen K. Gleason, Heather A. Clark (researchers of the department of pharmacology and biomedical engineering from Northeastern University in Boston, and of engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology), are reported in an article published online in January and will soon appear on "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences " Microworm optode sensors limit particle diffusion to enable in vivo Measurements
