Remote-controlled genes trigger insulin production
“The work, in which a team used radio waves to switch on engineered insulin-producing genes in mice, is published today in Science. Jeffrey Friedman, a molecular geneticist at the Rockefeller University in New York and lead author of the study, says that in the short term, the results will lead to better tools to allow scientists to manipulate cells non-invasively. But with refinement, he thinks, clinical applications could also be possible.”
