Glowing Glucose Monitor Developed in Japan

Diabetics, listen up! Scientists in Japan’s Tokyo U. have developed a new glucose monitor, an implant which glows when exposed to high glucose levels. When compared to it’s previous iterations it is said that this has an improvement in both stability and accuracy, as well as being only 1 mm thick and requiring no oxygen to operate. In lab testing indicates the tech to work in mice for 140 days at a time!

So your days of stabbing and testing may soon be over, let me know what you think about it in the comments!

I call this one Mimiko. Means "glowing ear"

Backlit Puppies Born in Korea

Glow-in-the-dark Greyhounds, bio-luminescent Beagles, night-light Newfoundlands, flourescent Foxhounds and lit-up Labradors!! Now it’s possible.

This is Tegon... And yes, she's glowing.

Using a cloning technique called somatic cell transfer, a puppy in Korea was born bio-luminescent. I believe the scientific term for this is “glowy.”

Can’t you just picture it? Party goers flocking to the back of the room to get the latest in glowing accessories, The Rave Rover!

After four years of research the experiment was a success! The pup fluoresces when exposed to UV light IF it ingests a doxycycline antibiotic. But seriously this is actually a HUGE step in medical engineering!

Cue PETA, I know they’ll be all over this!
