MIPs possess considerable promise as synthetic recognition elements in ‘theranostics’.

Thus, a systematic review of the latest research into and possible regulatory mechanisms of natural polysaccharides for type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment is of great significance for a better understanding of their pharmaceutical value.
