Stem Cells for Diabetes
Stem Cells for Diabetes. Scientists working to develop more effective treatments for diabetes are turning to stem cells. These can be transformed into cells that produce insulin. Two clinical trials are achieving positive results that bring the goal of curing diabetes with regenerative medicine treatments closer. Patients with type 1 diabetes have begun to produce […]
How do we obtain stem cells?
