Popis: Summary: Hydrogel glucose sensors with boronic acid-based fluorescence intensity theoretically hold promise to improve in vivo continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) by facilitating long-lasting accuracy. However, these sensors generally degrade after implantation and the fluorescence intensity decreases immediately over time. Herein, we describe a hydrogel glucose sensor with in vivo stability based on boronic acid-based fluorescence intensity, integrating two antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase. These protected the arylboronic acid from being degraded by hydrogen peroxide in vitro and preserved the boronic acid-based fluorescence intensity of the hydrogel glucose sensors in rats for 28 days. These antioxidant enzymes also allowed the hydrogel glucose sensor attached to a homemade semi-implantable CGM device to trace blood glucose concentrations in rats for 5 h with the accuracy required for clinical settings. Hydrogel glucose sensors with boronic acid-based fluorescence intensity containing SOD and catalase could comprise a new strategy for in vivo CGM.
