    Summary
    These droplets also offer function in mitigating the most severe effects of hypoglycemia arising from an insulin overdose through delivery of dasiglucagon in a mouse model of hypoglycemic rescue.

    Summary · context
    Here, a net-cationic supramolecular peptide amphiphile building block with a glucose-binding motif is shown that forms LLPS structures when combined with a net-negatively charged therapeutic protein, dasiglucagon, in the presence of glucose.
    Summary · context
    When the stabilized droplets formed in glucose are transferred to a bulk phase containing different glucose concentrations, their stability and lifetime decrease according to bulk glucose concentration.

    In this study, Dasiglucagon was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Dasiglucagon.
