Interstitial fluid mirrors many biomarkers found in blood and has attracted growing interest as a target for painless diagnostics. Microneedles offer a way to access this fluid through the skin, but ...

The next frontier of continuous health monitoring could be skin deep. Biomedical engineers at the University of Cincinnati say interstitial fluid, the watery fluid found between and around cells, ...

(LOS ANGELES) - The interstitial fluid is a major component of the liquid environment in the body and fills the spaces between the body's cells. In contrast, blood circulates only within the ...

The fluid between our cells could be used to diagnose and monitor health conditions. A patch made of tiny needles can sample this liquid and could be easier to use and less invasive than normal blood ...

A rapid and reliable skin-patch test 1 can now detect the COVID-19 virus, and potentially other infectious agents in under three minutes, without the need to draw blood. This convenience overcomes a ...

A river of biological information flows just beneath the outermost layers of your skin, in which a hodgepodge of proteins squeeze past each other through the interstitial fluid surrounding your cells.

Using an array of tiny needles that are almost too small to see, researchers have developed a minimally invasive technique for sampling a largely unexplored human bodily fluid that could potentially ...
