A plant-based, oral delivery of insulin regulates blood sugar levels similar to natural insulin With Daniell’s plant-based drug production and delivery platform, plant tissue is bombarded with biomedically important proteins, such as insulin, prompting the plant chloroplasts to take up the genes and express that protein. Harvested leaves can be freeze-dried and encapsulated, providing an affordable, shelf-stable means of delivery.
