WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT? Millions of diabetics worldwide use synthetic insulin
regulate their blood sugar levels.
People who don’t produce the necessary amount of insulin have diabetes.
People who suffered diabetes had no chance for a healthy life without synthetic insulin.
Artificial synthesis of insulin is a serious step for the biotech industry and microbiology.

HISTORICAL QUESTION

In 1936 researchers found a way to make insulin with a slower
release in the blood thanks for protamine.
In 1950 researchers produced a type of insulin that acted slightly faster and does not remain in the bloodstream as long.
In the 1970s, researchers began to try and produce an insulin that more mimicked how the body's natural insulin worked.
In the 1980s, researchers used genetic engineering to manufacture a human insulin.

In 1982 thanks for work of biochemists Stanley Cohen

INSULINE AND GENETIC ENGEERING In 1982 thanks for work of biochemists Stanley
and Herbert Boyer was produced a human insulin that became the first approved genetically engineered pharmaceutical product.
Human insulin is grown in the lab inside Escherichia coli.
Recombinant DNA is a technology scientists developed that made it possible to insert a human gene into the genetic material of a common bacterium.
