Stem cell cure for diabetes a reality: Study
Times of India
BOSTON: Diabetes may soon be cured after scientists have managed to halt the condition in mice for six months, thanks to the use of insulin-producing cells that had been generated from human stem cells. Experts from US hospitals and institutions

Stem cell research offers explanation for developmental disease
Duke Chronicle
7 in the neuroscience journal Neuron, a group of Duke researchers found that stem cells that experience a delay during mitosis—the stage of the cell cycle in which a cell divides into two—produce fewer stem cells and more differentiated neurons, many

Stem Cell Breakthrough Could Put an End to Daily Insulin Injections for Diabetics
Gizmodo
Researchers at MIT and Harvard have used insulin-producing cells to restore insulin function in mice for an extended period. Back in 2014, the same group used stem cells to create insulin-producing beta cells in large quantities. Now, they’ve taken
