Engineered albumin may enable needle-free protein medicines
Original: Engineered albumin could lead to needle-free, long-lasting protein medicines
Researchers are developing engineered versions of albumin, a common blood protein, that could allow protein-based drugs to be delivered without injections and to remain active in the body for longer. If successful, the approach could replace frequent needle-based treatments for conditions such as diabetes, making long-lasting protein medicines easier to take and improving patient comfort and compliance.
Why now: A new medical research advance promises to reduce the need for injections, a topic of wide public interest.
