Breakthrough! World's first stem cell transplant cures type 1 diabetes in Chinese woman
In a medical breakthrough, a woman's type 1 diabetes has been reversed in China through the world's first stem cell transplant. In the treatment, these cells were converted into personalized stem cells, which were used for growing hormone-producing cells or 'islets' in the liver and pancreas, which regulate the amount of sugars in the body. "I can eat sugar now," said the 25-year-old woman, who is from the city of Tianjin. According to the rese
