That’s pretty incredible. I wonder if the patients will have to get more insulin-producing cells transplanted every few years, or if this is a “one and done” type of deal?

In any case, an autologous cell transplant every ≥3 years or so is a vast improvement over the current situation for type 2 diabetes

IIRC the biologist that runs the YT channel Though Emporium did this some years ago regarding his lactose intolerance and he had to get more after some years because his body didn’t naturally produce them

But I hope this is different

Yeah I’d sorta assume that’d be the case with this treatment too, but I’m also an idiot with absolutely zero medical training
