The list of beneficial molecules that will encourage bacteria and other cells to produce thousands every second has already become a long one, perhaps the most famous of which is insulin, interferon, and we can add a large number of hormones such as somatostatin and somatotropin (growth hormone) Immunotherapy. Here are two types of hormones: insulin and growth hormone.
Insulin:
Some estimates show that demand for insulin will soon increase supply. Diabetes in some countries and the world as a whole will quickly make the amount of insulin that is currently extracted from the pancreas of cow's cows insufficient to meet the need of the market in a future stage not far away.
In addition, the insulin of cows is not chemically identical to human insulin, which makes a large proportion of diabetics produce antibodies against insulin when injected, that is, their bodies treat it as a strange protein, meaning that their bodies begin to destroy insulin before using it, If an insulin industry is a replica of the human molecule, these problems will not arise, all of which led to the development of genetically engineered bacteria that can synthesize human insulin.
Growth hormone:
It turned out that one patient who suffers from growth delay due to lack of growth hormone needs seventy genes to meet the needs of the hormone in the year.
The alternative method is to transfer the genes that determine the hormone to bacteria such as E. E. coli, then extracts the hormone from the bacterial plantations, this has already been done.
