Stimuli-responsive electrodes detect oxidative stress and liver injury

Adv Mater. 2015 Feb 25;27(8):1433-6. doi: 10.1002/adma.201404562. Epub 2014 Dec 23.

Abstract

A digital point-of-care biosensor for measuring reactive oxygen species is presented based on novel reactive oxygen species responsive polymer-based electrodes. The biosensor is able to detect a drug-induced liver injury by monitoring the oxidative stress in the blood.

Keywords: interdigitated microelectrodes; reactive oxygen species.
