Authors' recommendations: A biosensor is defined as a self-contained integrated device that uses a biological recognition component (i.e. a protein, a peptide, an enzyme, an antibody, an oligonucleotide, etc.) with the aim of converting a biological signal into a quantifiable electrical or optical signal.The study of biosensors for their use in continuous glucose monitoring has totally dominated the medical diagnostics market. The outcome in this group of patients was addressed in report 3/2005.The studies on lactate, oxygen, neurotransmi-tters, glutamate and neurobiological pyruvate, as well as on ion flow for Ca+, Na+ and K+, all focus on in vitro research, animal experimentation.
