The reported in vivo bioinstability of sensors is likely to be caused by protein and cellular biofouling on the sensor membrane. Furthermore, the consistent finding of fibrinogen and fibrinogen fragments D and E at the sensor-tissue interface seems to play an important role in the pathogenesis as it possibly maintains the inflammation by promoting the recruitment of inflammatory cells to the implantation site.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
