Ohio State
University engineers are developing low-cost electronic devices that work in
direct contact with living tissue inside the body.
The initial
objective is to develop an in vivo biosensor to detect the presence of proteins
that mark the first signs of organ rejection in the body. Such biosensors could
also be used for detecting glucose, pH, and diseases such as cancer.
Other
materials such as titanium could also work, and such coatings could even be
tailored to boost the performance of sensors or other biomedical devices,
Berger suggested.
