Type 1 diabetes cure close to reality after scientists discovered a way to protect the new insulin-secreting cells from the body’s own immune system attacks. Back in 2014 Professor Doug Melton and scientists from Harvard Stem Cell Institute found a way to produce huge quantities of pancreatic beta cells. The insulin-secreting cells can be used…
It’s an exciting time in diabetes research. The most recent breakthrough to cure type 1 diabetes came when Harvard University scientists announced the amazing discovery of creating large amounts of insulin-producing beta cells from human embryonic stem-cells. UK Excited Harvard Stem-Cell Breakthrough! The cells can be potentially used for transplants in people with diabetes. Therefore ending…
Researchers at Harvard University announce a major diabetes breakthrough in finding a treatment and possible cure for type 1 diabetes from human embryonic stem cells. The scientists were able to produce insulin-producing beta cells from stem cells in very large volumes that would be required for cell transplantation as well as pharmaceutical use. Lead researcher…
