Eine andere #OpenSource Lösung für die Insulinversorgung ist: #OpenInsulin

Weil alle derzeit erhältlichen #Insulin Sorten patentiert sind, wird es in einigen Ländern #USA nur zu Preisen verkauft, die sich manche Menschen nicht mehr leisten können.
OpenInsulin könnte diese #Preisspirale durchbrechen.
Open Insulin
We’re working to develop the first practical, small-scale, community-centered model for insulin production to make insulin accessible to all. This model will ensure communities in need have local sources of safe, affordable, high-quality insulin, and that people living with diabetes and their communities own and govern the organizations that produce the medicine they depend on to survive.

The enzyme Amylase is used to break down starches into sugars -- a process known as Hydrolysis. This is e.g. required in the (industrial) production of (durable) oat milk. Industrially, amylase is produced using bacteria, but enzymes also naturally occur in grains. Basically, their original purpose is to "feed" the sprouts and the growing 'baby plant'.
In conservation with other anarchists, we agreed that every revoluzer should get -- among other things -- some tasty oat drinks. However, can we also do so without being reliant on #BigBioTech? Perhaps a distributed, small-scale production of enzymes -- akin to the #OpenInsulin project (https://openinsulin.org/) -- would be the best solution in the long term. In the meantime, we could try out some #LowTech solutions.
Indeed, there's a technique that exploits the natural production of enzymes in sprouting seeds, in particular oats:
- Let oats sprout
- Ground the seeds
- Filter through two layers of cheesecloth
- Centrifugate
The technique was explored in the following scientific paper. In particular, they optimized over various variables (such as sprouting time and acidity).

"On Friday, Open Insulin will go live on Youtube to present our new blog on insulin production cost. With a small scale production system no bigger than a dining table, 13,000 people with diabetes could be served and get insulin at $6/vial! "
Recently, we published a blog [https://openinsulin.org/how-many-people-could-be-served-by-a-small-scale-production-system-something-that-could-fit-on-top-of-a-lab-bench-or-table/] that went through the question about how many people with diabetes this type of small-scale system could serve. With our calculation, we estimate that a small-scale production system could serve an expected total of 13,000 people with diabetes, with the estimate ranging from 4,000 to 45,000. With this post, we would li
The keynote speaker for #PleaseTryThis19 is going to be #RamyKim, who is part of Counter Culture Labs in Oakland and the #OpenInsulin project.
We're a team of Bay Area biology nerds who believe that insulin should be freely available to anybody who needs it. So, we're developing the first freely available, open protocol for insulin production. We hope our research will be the basis for generic production of this life-saving drug. Additionally, we hope our work inspires other biohackers to band together and create things nobody has ever thought of before! To support Open Insulin, head to our donations page [/donate].

Wondering what we've been up to? Our science lead Yann is doing the first in a series of protein biochemistry workshops with Open Insulin volunteers so they can learn the theory & practical aspects of producing our open source #insulin.
