"Hundreds of millions of people rely on insulin for survival, but shortages can impact prices — along with people’s health. Now, a new study proposes using transgenic cows to create human insulin in their milk, a process that's much more efficient than the current, transgenic yeast/bacteria method. Although scientists have proven the concept, it'll still be awhile before an insulin-producing transgenic cow passes FDA approval."
