Article Synopsis
- Diabetes Mellitus is a growing global health crisis, impacting over 500 million people with an alarming increase in cases among those under 20 and high mortality rates, while insulin accessibility remains a significant issue worldwide.
- Researchers developed a method for oral delivery of engineered proinsulin using plant cells, achieving stable expression and meeting FDA standards, thus potentially making treatment more accessible and cost-effective.
- The study demonstrated that oral proinsulin effectively regulates blood sugar levels in mice similarly to natural insulin, presenting a viable alternative to traditional insulin injections and paving the way for potential clinical applications.
