In an ideal world, managing diabetes wouldn’t involve insulin injections but just popping a pill. Now a team of scientists has demonstrated an oral tablet that’s self-propelled by chemical ...

Walter and Eliza Hall Institute scientists have determined the structure of a previously unseen part of the insulin receptor, making possible new treatments for diabetes.

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

The crystal structure the scientists developed can enable computational-based drug discovery to be used to target the i-motifs from the insulin gene, because when scientists know the specific 3D ...

Researchers have been making steps toward an insulin pill, and now, a team reports in ACS Nano that they’ve delivered insulin to the colons of rats using an orally administered tablet powered by ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 75, No. 1 (Jan., 1978), pp. 180-184 (5 pages) A model for the three-dimensional structure of insulin-like growth ...
