Researchers test new diabetes pillIan Clift Diabetics may see an improvement in their quality of life thanks to a drug delivery system developed by Purdue researchers that could put insulin in a pill form. "Proteins degrade by our saliva and stomach acids," said Nikolaos Peppas, professor of Chemical Engineering. Because of this, proteins traditionally couldn't be delivered to the body orally. Rather, they had to be administered via injection, as diabetics usually do with insulin.
Study reveals increases in van rolloversIn recent years, there's been an increase in reports of rollover accidents regarding 12- and 15-passenger vans. Although Purdue has not had any accidents with its fleet of passenger vans, a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows these vehicles are more prone to rollovers as the number of passengers increases. On April 9, the safety administration issued a "Consumer Advisory" to notify the users of 12- and 15-passenger vans of possible rollover dangers.
