Marine Snail Inspires Fast-Acting Injectable Insulin for Better Diabetes Control

[Amity Island]

In the journal Nature Chemical Biology, the scientific team reports on a new insulin whose design is based on venom from the marine snail, Conus kinoshitai. By introducing biochemical features that enable the snail’s insulin to start working quickly, they have created a modified form of human insulin that they hope could give patients with diabetes better, more immediate control over their blood sugar.
