And the formulae of insulin are over 100 years old.
The idea of insulin began 107 years ago:
Between 1915 and 1919, Israel Kleiner (1885-1966) carried out a series of experiments at Rockefeller proving definitively that a substance from the pancreas lowered blood sugar, and he suggested that the effective agent might be isolated and used therapeutically.
This was soon called insulin. And Dr. Kleiner was my beloved grandfather!
