Schematic of needle-type electrochemical glucose biosensor (A). The sensors were modified to store NO by doping NO-releasing silica nanoparticles into the outermost, glucose flux-limiting polyurethane layer. The graphs in (B, C) display the in vivo sensor numerical accuracy (mean absolute relative deviation) of NO-releasing (black, square) and control (red, circle) for the N-diazeniumdiolate- (B) and S-nitrosothiol-based (C) membranes.
