Publication number: 20210382063Abstract: Described herein are glucose sensors. The sensors are composed of host cells incorporating DNA devices specifically designed to produce fluorescence when the cells come into contact with glucose from a patient sample. Once the fluorescence has been quantified, it can be correlated with the amount of glucose present in the sample. Also described herein are extracts from the host cells that can sense and measure glucose levels in a patient. The devices and extracts disclosed herein are inexpensive but sensitive and accurate enough for use in both home and clinical testing situations.
