Islets in the Stream: Could Stem Cell Technology Be an Eventual Cure for Type 1 Diabetes?
Recent studies have shown how stem cell-derived therapies have the potential as a renewable source of insulin-producing pancreatic islet cells. Promising as these results are, could stem cell technology eventually lead to a cure for diabetes as well as impacts well beyond endocrinology? Last December, two papers appeared in Cell Stem Cell and Cell Reports...
