A multiple electrochemical sensing fibre for long-term disease biomarkers monitoring in vivo
To fabricate a stable device-tissue interface, the bundles of carbon nanotubes fibres were twisted to form a hierarchical structure that mimic the native tissues. After modification, the sensing fibres could realize the long-term monitoring of multiple disease biomarkers in vivo.
