Fluorescent chiral-selective receptor system for applications in diabetes management
Researchers from Japan have developed γ‑cyclodextrin and fluorescent monoboronic acid-based complexes—1F/γ-CyD and 2N/γ-CyD—that exhibit excellent sensitivity, selectivity, and chiral selectivity for D-glucose detection.

Existing methods for the diagnosis of diabetes…
