MIT and Novo Nordisk have developed a capsule that releases a burst of drugs directly into the wall of the stomach or other organs of the digestive tract.
This capsule could offer an alternative way to deliver drugs that normally have to be injected.
This needle-free strategy could also be used to deliver RNA , either as a vaccine or therapeutic molecule to treat diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic disorders.
The researchers envision that the ingestible capsule could be used at home by patients who need to take insulin or other injected drugs frequently.
The researchers also created and tested a version of the device that could be attached to an endoscope to deliver drugs to a patient.
They plan to further develop the capsules, in hopes of testing them in humans.
