New analysis has been in search of new strategies for diabetics to manage their ranges of insulin apart from by common injections.
Scientists in Switzerland have discovered that taking part in Queen’s We Will Rock You is ready to assist cells produce and launch the important hormone.
The methodology in query entails implanting a capsule into the physique that comprises a sort of designer cell that produce insulin.
Regulating when insulin is launched from the capsules was achieved by sound waves opening a membrane channel (a managed gate) from which the hormone can escape the cell.
Interestingly the analysis staff found that We Will Rock You’s sound waves have been notably good at opening the channels for insulin to launch when examined on mice, however solely when a speaker was straight positioned onto the rodents.
Sir Brian May, who wrote the enduring Queen track, has posted the Forbes article hailing the invention however slammed the usage of animal testing because the technique of analysis.
The guitarist and animal rights activist wrote on Instagram: “So ! Who would have guessed ?! We Will Rock You can be good for your health !!! I’m happy about that. But not at all happy that these scientists tortured mice to find that out.
“It’s now well known that many drugs and procedures that work in mice or rats do NOT work in humans. ‘Proving’ drugs in non-human animals was the cause of the terrible tragedy with Thalidomide some years ago. And, ethically, causing pain to one species to cure the ills of another is clearly unjustifiable. So the laws requiring tests on animals MUST be changed.”
Sir Brian, who’s about to embark on Queen and Adam Lambert’s US tour added: “I’m horrified that these scientists could gaily make these unfortunate animals suffer to prove a point that should have been made using human volunteers. Then I would have been smiling. But this ?
“It’s so easy to gloss over the disgusting way we treat animals. It has to stop. It’s high time that scientists became responsible for what they do.
“Time they took responsibility for the way they behave. I will NOT be celebrating this news tonight. Bri.”
