An international team of researchers have developed the world’s smallest version of the insulin hormone.<\/p>\n

This insulin analogue based off insulin found in species of cone snails is fully functional, fast-acting and as potent as human insulin. This finding based on animal data<\/p>\n

Nearly a century after insulin was discovered, an international team of researchers report that they have developed the world’s smallest, fully functional version of the hormone, one that combines the potency of human insulin with the fast-acting potential of a venom insulin produced by predatory cone snails. The finding, based on animal studies, could jumpstart the development of insulin treatments capable of improving the lives of those with diabetes.<\/p>\n
