A totally synthetic artificial pancreas is described by Y. Miyahara et al. in their Communication on page 2124 ff . A hydrogel bearing a phenylboronate derivative undergoes a glucose‐dependent transition in its state of hydration under physiological conditions. The reversible surface‐localized dehydration enables the provision of insulin to be controlled, thus offering a new basis for the treatment of diabetes with long‐term stability and safety.
