Lab-Grown Insulin Cells Restore Blood Sugar in Diabetic Mice
TL;DR
Researchers refined a stem cell protocol to produce mature, glucose-responsive insulin-secreting cells from human pluripotent stem cells. When transplanted into the anterior chamber of the eye in diabetic mice, these cells gradually restored blood-sugar control, addressing earlier issues with maturity and purity and signaling potential for patient-specific regenerative therapies.
