The published paper “Injectable Nano-Network for Glucose-Mediated Insulin Delivery” by Dr. Zhen Gu, core faculty in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, and his collaborators at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is featured on the cover page of the Science News section of the Science Daily website. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/07/130717105934.htm
Earlier in May, Time magazine reported on this project highlighting how the developed “‘Smart’ Nanoparticles Can Now Control Blood Sugar in Diabetics for ‘Days at a Time.’” The Time article can be read at this link: http://techland.time.com/2013/05/08/smart-nanoparticles-can-now-control-blood-sugar-in-diabetics-for-days-at-a-time/ In addition to Time’s and Science Daily’s coverage, the publication of this project’s results and their significant potential impact on public health has also been reported in Chemical & Engineering News (May 20, 2013).
