The next frontier of continuous health monitoring could be skin deep. Biomedical engineers at the University of Cincinnati say interstitial fluid, the watery fluid found between and around cells, ...

Interstitial fluid mirrors many biomarkers found in blood and has attracted growing interest as a target for painless diagnostics. Microneedles offer a way to access this fluid through the skin, but ...

The fluid between our cells could be used to diagnose and monitor health conditions. A patch made of tiny needles can sample this liquid and could be easier to use and less invasive than normal blood ...

Using an array of tiny needles that are almost too small to see, researchers have developed a minimally invasive technique for sampling a largely unexplored human bodily fluid that could potentially ...

Biomedical engineers say interstitial fluid, the watery fluid found between and around cells, tissues or organs in the body, could provide an excellent medium for early disease diagnosis or long-term ...

Interstitial fluid flow is closely related to drug delivery and distribution, playing a crucial role in their therapeutic effects on tumours. However, few non-invasive measurement methods are ...

A rapid and reliable skin-patch test 1 can now detect the COVID-19 virus, and potentially other infectious agents in under three minutes, without the need to draw blood. This convenience overcomes a ...

The interstitial fluid is a major component of the liquid environment in the body and fills the spaces between the body's cells. In contrast, blood circulates only within the circulatory vessels of ...

The next frontier of continuous health monitoring could be skin deep. Biomedical engineers at the University of Cincinnati say interstitial fluid, the watery fluid found between and around cells, ...

Rapid interstitial fluid extraction enables fast monitoring of glucose and could be extended to other biomarkers such as electrolytes, metabolites, and proteins. Because the sensing method relies on ...
