Abstract

Significance: Devices that release a drug in response to a remote trigger would enable on-demand control of the timing and dose of drug released. They would allow the patient or physician to adjust therapy precisely to a target effect, thus improving treatment and reducing toxicity. We have developed implantable reservoirs that release a drug when irradiated with near-infrared laser light. The release rate was correlated to laser intensity, with negligible leakage between doses. Devices containing aspart, a fast-acting analog of insulin, were implanted in diabetic rats and were able to achieve glycemic control upon irradiation. Such devices can be loaded with a wide range of drugs to treat a variety of clinical indications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
