It seems space intended inventions are likely to become more and more useful in our daily life. Apart from the ones we use at present, such as scratch resistant glasses or cordless tools, there are others which though they can not still be purchased, maybe they will in the short term. Whereas we talked about washing machines two months ago, now NASA surprises us with a far more interesting issue.
Believe it or not, this dwarf object can detect whether an astronaut has been exposed to a massive blast of radiation and it is able to take steps to mitigate potential problems. But it can also help people who suffer from diabetes.
The capsule would contain pancreatic islet cells (from animals) or would contain engineered cells designed to behave like pancreatic islet cells, with both glucose-sensing and insulin secretion function. Patients with low-insulin requirement might benefit from implantation of a single capsule (containing perhaps a million to 10 million cells); patients with higher insulin requirement might require implantation of more than one capsule.
