“Animal cells share some qualities with plant cells, but one key feature ours lack is a rigid cell wall. While this provides structure for plants, it’s also something scientists are increasingly looking at for use in new materials, cellulose technology and, now, insulin delivery.”
Exactly, I know it always takes a while for these discoveries to become reality but this could potentially be a gamechanger for insulin… and perhaps the technique will be used for other costly-to-make drugs. Will certainly bring a new meaning to “eat your veggies, they’ll make you grow big and strong”!
