A new drug capsule can help large proteins such as insulin and small-molecule drugs be absorbed in the digestive tract. The capsule has a robotic cap that spins and tunnels through the mucus ...

Their latest creation is a drug capsule that uses a robotic, tunneling head to burrow its way through the mucus in the small intestine, giving insulin a direct route to cells. SUBSCRIBE LOG IN ...

Traverso was the senior author of the study, which concludes that the capsule could offer an alternative to delivering drugs that normally have to be injected, like insulin, antibodies, and even mRNA.

In a recent study published in Science Robotics, a team of researchers led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a robotic drug capsule, which they dub “RoboCap”, designed ...

One version of the capsule, which has a flat bottom and a high dome, can sit on a surface, such as the lining of the stomach, and eject drug downward into the tissue. This capsule, which was ...

Can contain high doses: Tablets are mostly made entirely of the drug and can hold higher doses than capsules. Can split in half: You can split tablets in half if you need to take a smaller dose.

Augusta University experts have developed a smart drug-free capsule that they claim can solve chronic constipation by vibrating the gut from the inside. Skip to main content. Menu ...

A new drug capsule developed at MIT will be able to replace insulin injections with a robotic capsule that will spin and tunnel through the mucus barrier of the small intestine and deliver the ...

The capsule from Varda Space Industries' W-1 mission landed in northern Utah this afternoon (Feb. 21), bringing down to Earth crystals of an antiviral drug that were grown in orbit.
