- 1The End of Insulin Injections? Scientists Push Needle-Free Medicine▼The End of Insulin Injections? How Scientists Are Making Medicine Needle-Free
Scientists are developing needle-free ways to deliver medicine, including insulin, with the goal of replacing traditional injections for millions of patients, particularly people with diabetes. The work, highlighted by National Geographic, covers new technologies that could deliver drugs through the skin or other routes without needles. If successful, the approach could reduce pain and needle anxiety for patients who need daily injections.
