Stem cells from diabetic patients coaxed to become insulin-secreting cells
Science Daily Millman said more research is needed to make sure that the beta cells made from patient-derived stem cells don’t cause tumors to develop — a problem that has surfaced in some stem cell research — but there has been no evidence of tumors in the mouse … Stem Cells Of Type 1 Diabetes Patients Transformed Into Insulin-Secreting Beta Cells; Research May Lead To New … Diabetes Treatment Using Stem Cells: No More Insulin Injection Gene Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes: Preclinical Promise |
