A Stem-Cell Discovery Could Help Diabetics
September 2, 2009 - TIME
Scientists at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute reported the first success in generating new populations of insulin-producing cells using skin cells of Type 1 diabetes patients. The achievement involved the newer embryo-free technique for generating stem cells, and marked the first step toward building a treatment that could one day replace a patient's faulty insulin-making cells with healthy, functioning ones.
