Synthesis of hormone to treat osteoporosis at Toronto NRC
Canadian researchers at the University of Toronto and NRC Ottawa synthesized human parathyroid hormone PTH to prevent and potentially cure osteoporosis. The gene assembled in fragments via a gene machine was inserted into E coli to produce the hormone cheaply. Trials in 1980 showed PTH could restore bone mass. future trials and nasal drop delivery were planned, with applications to elderly, bed-ridden, and space travelers.
