Bioresponsive controlled release from mesoporous silica nanocontainers with glucometer readout

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Feb 11;50(12):1441-3. doi: 10.1039/c3cc48453j.

Abstract

A novel sensing platform for monitoring small molecules without the need for sample separation and washing is developed by using a commercialized personal glucose meter based on bioresponsive controlled release of glucose from aptamer-gated mesoporous silica nanocontainers.
