Putting glucose metabolism under electronic control.

An electronic device controls the redox mechanisms that regulate glucose concentrations in mice.

• Why it matters: Glucose levels are tightly regulated by redox chemistry, but achieving electronic control over these mechanisms could enable new ways to manage glucose dynamics.
• What they did: The study used an electronic device to modulate redox mechanisms involved in glucose regulation in a mouse model.
• The result: Electronic control of redox regulation is demonstrated in mice, implying glucose concentrations can be managed via engineered redox control.
