Stem Cell Research Successes

In 2007 15 young persons with insulin dependent diabetes (type 1 insuline dependent juvenile diabetes) were admistered special stem cells in a research attempt to re-develop the islet of langerhans (the part of the pancreas that produces the insulin).

The study was a success and 13 of the 15 persons were able to cease their daily insulin injections, while 2 of the persons were unaffected.

Further research into this type of stem cell study to prove unequivocally the benefits or risks of such a procedure, but at this stage, stem cell research holds many good advances and news for people who suffer from diabetes.
