These injections require training, equipment and often take a toll on one&#8217;s life. But what if you could take monoclonal antibodies, insulin and other injectables as a pill? A study by investigators at Brigham and Women&#8217;s Hospital, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Novo Nordisk unveils a new type of self-injecting capsule, called the liquid-injecting self-orienting millimeter-scale applicator (L-SOMA) that administers typically injected liquid medications orally. In large animal preclinical models, investigators used this technology to deliver four commonly injected medications, including a monoclonal antibody. Findings are published in Nature Biotechnology.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-08-self-injecting-pill-oral-administration-monoclonal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Self-injecting pill allows for oral administration of monoclonal antibodies and other injected drugs<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people suffering from diseases like Crohn&#8217;s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes inject themselves or have to receive drug infusions to help treat their disease.
