A MELBOURNE medical discovery could help scientists develop better insulin to treat people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research say they have solved the mystery as to how insulin, a hormone in the blood, binds to the surface of cells.
It is hoped this will assist scientists develop improved insulin medications.
Institute Associate Professor Mike Lawrence said that for the first time they understood how insulin binds to insulin receptors, which help cells take up insulin from the blood for energy.
