Woman’s diabetes reversed after world-first stem cell transplant

Researchers report ‘no indication of abnormalities’ and ‘functional reversal’ of patient’s diabetes a year after procedure

A 25-year-old woman from Tianjin, China, with type 1 diabetes has started producing her own insulin three months after receiving a stem cell transplant...

A 25-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes is able to produce insulin on her own three months after receiving a transplant of reprogrammed stem cells taken from her own body. This achievement represents a milestone in medicine and in the treatment of diabetes, since he is the first person with diabetes treated with autologous cells capable of producing insulin. The results were published today in the journal 'Cell' and offer hope for the treatment…

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
