"People with type 1 diabetes in the trial who were given the drug required significantly less insulin for treatment." It is estimated around 8.4 million people across the world had type 1 diabetes in 2021, with numbers projected to rise to 17.4 million by 2040. In the UK, around 8...
Type 1 diabetes mellitusCell therapyIslet cell transplantationType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease that results from the loss of the pancreatic 尾-cells. The autoimmune destruction of the 尾-cells causes the loss of insulin production from the islets of the pancreas, resulting ...

First immune-evading cells created to treat type 1 diabetes. Credit: Salk Institute "When we add ERR-gamma, the cells have the energy they need to do their job," says Michael Downes, a Salk senior staff scientist and co-author of both studies. "These cells are healthy and robust and ca...
In particular, artificial or, closer to feasibility, biohybrid artificial pancreas (BHAP) could replace the function of pancreatic islet beta-cells that have been destroyed by autoimmunity, thereby obviating the need to treat patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (TIDM) with multiple daily insulin...
Modern insulins, old paradigms and pragmatism: choosing wisely when deciding how to treat type 1 diabetes.doi:10.1186/s13098-015-0033-4There is a clinical imperative to improve metabolic control in the treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes, but in doing so, hypoglycemia should be avoided ...
The primary mechanism of action of Lantidra is believed to be the secretion of insulin by the infused allogeneic islet beta cells. In some patients with type 1 diabetes, these infused cells can produce enough insulin, so the patient no longer needs to take insulin (by inje...
Diabetes is a life-threatening disease because of the risk of developing cardiovascular and liver diseases. Main symptoms of diabetes When you know that you’ve got type 1 or type 2diabetes mellitus, the first reaction can be anxiety, which may later lead to depression. However, there are two...
