IIT Guwahati Develops New Method to Produce Insulin
Scientists at IIT Guwahati have created a new way to make insulin, a medicine that helps people with diabetes.
They used a special kind of bacteria called Pseudomonas fluorescens, which is good at making proteins in an easy way.
This new method is expected to make insulin cheaper and easier to get.
Diabetes is a common health problem, and insulin is very important for many people with the disease.
The new process uses a safe bacteria and produces a lot of insulin without making other harmful things.
This method could lead to a big change in how insulin is made and make it easier for people to get the medicine they need.
Researchers at IIT Guwahati developed a new method for producing human insulin.
The method uses Pseudomonas fluorescens, a safe and efficient bacterium.
The technology has been granted two Indian patents.
The research findings were published in scientific journals.
The new method aims to make insulin more affordable and accessible.
