How the Therapy Works The process involves regenerative medicine, utilizing the patient’s own body’s capabilities to treat the illness. Cell Extraction: A small sample of cells (e.g., fat cells or blood cells) is taken from the patient. Reprogramming: These cells are chemically treated in a lab to revert them to a pluripotent state, meaning they can develop into any type of cell. Differentiation and Transplantation: The stem cells are then guided to become functional, insulin-producing islet cells. These new cells are then transplanted back into the patient’s abdominal area. Restored Function: Once implanted, the cells engraft and begin producing insulin naturally in response to blood glucose levels, effectively restoring the body’s natural ability to regulate blood sugar.

Multiple types are autoimmune. Doesn’t the body continue to attack the cells?

This was one test in one patient. We didn’t hear about the patients where this didn’t work. Very shitty article.

Well shit. At least I wasn’t willing to get my hopes up.
