Southland scientists unveil genetic breakthrough in insulin production
City of Bede National Medical Center researchers claim to have engineered bacteria to produce somatostatin, a hormone normally found in higher animals, marking a major advance in recombinant DNA work. They report drug-ready hormone synthesis through artificial genes, praised by the National Academy of Sciences. The work, tied to broader gene-splicing debates, was detailed in a Science paper by Itakura Hirose Crea Riggs of City of Hope and UCSF's Heyneker Bolivar Boyer.
