A microneedle-based, integrated smart patch for continuous biomarker monitoring
Microneedle-Based Smart Patch for Continuous Biomarker Monitoring At Microneedles 2025, our consortium presented exciting results from the ELSAH project: the development of an integrated microneedle (MN)-based smart patch designed for continuous monitoring of biomarkers such as glucose and lactate. Why Microneedle Monitoring? Chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and
Flavin Mononucleotide-Dependent l-Lactate Dehydrogenases: Expanding the Toolbox of Enzymes for l-Lactate Biosensors
The study explain the advantages of LDH Lactazymes, especially those on flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-dependent L-lactate dehydrogenases for biosensor applications. It investigates seven newly discovered enzymes for L-lactate detection and compares their performance to Aerococcus viridans LOx. The research emphasizes enzyme diversity in biosensors, focusing on enhancing sensitivity and stability for
