At the University of Texas, a special kind of tattoo has been invented that will allow diabetics to control blood sugar. In fact, these are molecules that light up while the glucose level remains low.

Unlike a conventional tattoo, which is an ink drop injected into the skin, an "intelligent" tattoo is inserted under the skin and is concentrated in the intercellular fluid. This is a fundamental point, because the level of glucose in the intercellular fluid is similar to that in the blood, while the sugar inside the skin cells is immediately converted into energy.

It remains to say that the best place to apply a "smart" tattoo is the forearm or abdominal region, so as not to expose the luminous molecules to the action of the sun's rays.

It all started with the fact that oncologists, communicating with their patients, found out an interesting fact: pets of these patients long before the medical diagnosis in one way or another reacted to the sick organ of their host.

There is a case when the dog of the Chihuahua breed singled out the place on the chest of his mistress, where the doctors subsequently discovered a malignant tumor. This woman constantly took her favorite in her arms and pressed her to her chest, and she immediately put her paws on a "bad" place.

Scientists hope to receive funding for research in this field, in order to improve the methods of diagnosing the development of tumors in the earliest stages of medicus. En.
