How LED light can break down ingestible medical devices

January 27, 2020 By Danielle Kirsh

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed an approach to break down ingestible medical devices in the gastrointestinal tract. Medical devices can be inserted in the gastrointestinal tract to treat, diagnose or monitor a number of GI disorders. However, the devices have to removed through endoscopic surgery once completed. The MIT researchers developed […]

Study: Researchers develop ingestible capsule for insulin delivery

February 11, 2019 By Sarah Faulkner

A team of researchers from MIT developed an ingestible, blueberry-sized capsule that can deliver insulin orally. In animal models, the capsule lowered blood sugar levels and performed comparably with the traditional route of insulin delivery – injections. The capsule features a small needle made of freeze-dried, compressed insulin. The needle is attached to a compressed spring, which […]
