MIT researchers have developed a needle-free device to inject drugs into organs deep within the body.

The microjet device uses pressure to push drugs such as insulin into a variety of organs.

When testing the device on pigs and dogs, the team found no safety issues.

While these microjets show promise, they have a long way to go before getting into humans.
