🌟 Breakthrough in Diabetes Care 🌟 Scientists at The University of British Columbia have developed an oral insulin drop that offers a pain-free alternative to injections for diabetes patients. This innovation from the Li Lab uses a unique cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) to help insulin be efficiently absorbed under the tongue, simplifying diabetes management. Dr.Shyh-Dar Li and his team have created this solution to improve the quality of life for millions living with diabetes. By making the drug delivery process easier, patients can potentially eliminate the need for frequent and painful insulin injections, improving medication adherence and reducing long-term complications. Key highlights: 🔹 Fast and efficient absorption of insulin without injections 🔹 Utilizes a peptide derived from fish byproducts to aid insulin delivery 🔹 Pre-clinical tests show promising results 🔹 Aims to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and other injection related issues This work is detailed in recent articles in the Journal of Controlled Release. The team is now working to bring this technology to market, hoping to make a significant impact on diabetes care. #DiabetesCare #MedicalInnovation #PharmaceuticalSciences #UBCResearch #HealthTech #DiabetesManagement #OralInsulin #NeedleFree #HealthcareInnovation
