title: Facile fabrication of dextran-based fluorescent nanogels as potential glucose sensors.
abstract: Glucose-responsive nanogels based on dextran and poly(3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid) (PAAPBA) were fabricated by a facile self-assembly assisted (SAA) strategy. Further introduction of the fluorescent agent 2-[4-(3-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-chromen-2-yl)phenoxy]ethylacrylamide (3HF-AM) allowed visualization of this glucose sensitivity, thus ensuring their potential use as glucose sensors.
