"Breakthrough: Genetically Modified Cow Produces 10x More Human Insulin in Milk"
TL;DR
Researchers have successfully engineered a cow to produce milk containing human insulin, potentially revolutionizing insulin production and accessibility for diabetics worldwide. By inserting human DNA coding for insulin into cow embryos, the genetically modified cow can produce large quantities of human insulin in its milk. This breakthrough could significantly reduce insulin production costs and improve availability, although challenges such as scaling up production and regulatory approvals remain.
