Instead of syringes with insulin: scientists are closer to creating pills for diabetics
For about 100 years, scientists have been trying to develop an oral medication that can be taken by people with type XNUMX diabetes, whose body does not produce insulin. To maintain life, patients need regular hormonal injections. The difficulty was that insulin molecules are unstable and are quickly destroyed in the digestive system.
New cryo-electron microscopy technology, developed by Australian scientists, makes it possible to create a molecule that activates insulin receptors necessary for the absorption of glucose in the blood.
