No More Needles?

New technologies always seem to be just two years away:

University of NSW PhD student Roderick Sih and his supervisor, Professor Neil Foster, are developing technology to deliver insulin orally and hope it could go on the market within two years.

Especially when there is intellectual property the might attract investors:

A global patent for ARISE insulin has been filed by New South Innovations, the commercial arm of the UNSW. Mr Sih said it could undergo clinical trials within six months.

I'm in the wait-and-see mode on this one ...
