Last week, two people with type 1 diabetes became the first to receive implants containing cells generated fromembryonic stem cellsto treat their condition. The hope is that when blood sugar levels rise, the implants will release insulin to restore them to normal. About 10 per cent ...

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is a chronic, multifactorial autoimmune disease that involves the progressive destruction of pancreatic beta-cells, ultimately resulting in the loss of insulin production and secretion. The goal of clinical intervention is to prevent or arrest the onset and progression ...

Science could be well on its way to a cure for type 1 diabetes, as researchers hone transplant therapies designed to restore patients' ability to produce their own insulin, experts say.
New studies are reporting results from a type 1 diabetes human clinical trial testing a device containing stem cells designed to mature into insulin-secreting cells. The experimental implant was found to be safe, well-tolerated and mildly effective.
Melton developed a scalable technique for creating human insulin-producing beta cells in vitro, a major stride towards an effective treatment for type 1 diabetes. According to a report published in the journal Cell on Oct. 9, this development is the first to yield beta cells that closely ...

Those of us in the field of diabetes have long wanted to curetype 1 diabetes, and there are little steps making me feel like this might be a possibility. One of those steps is that a company named Vertex — I'm actually on the steering committee for Vertex in terms of this project —...
