A typical CGM detects glucose levels in the interstitial fluid with an enzyme-based sensor. The sensor converts glucose concentrations into electrical signals that get transmitted wirelessly for ...

Measuring glucose in that fluid for CGM devices is well-established science, but hormones? Not so much. At least, not yet.

Medical device startup Level Zero Health (LZH) has raised £5.5m ($6.9m) in a pre-seed funding round for its hormone-tracking biosensor platform. European venture capital firm Redalpine led the ...

In a new study, researchers produced nanomaterials that could be used in developing more accurate sensors for healthcare in the future.

The key differences between hormonal IUDs (Mirena ... and possible side effects. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are an extremely effective method of birth control. An IUD is a small, T-shaped ...

Researchers developed single-wall carbon nanotube sensors for detecting low hormone levels, paving the way for advanced, continuous health monitoring. Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, ...

The device prevents pregnancy by making it harder for sperm to fertilize an egg, though the mechanism for how this happens depends on the IUD type — whether it's hormonal or non-hormonal.

Getting rid of a stress-hormone sensor there called the glucocorticoid receptor stopped the transmission of stress, the researchers found. When faced with an alarming predator odor, offspring of ...
