ProtoKinetix’ AAGP™ Shows Promise as a Tool in Diabetes Treatment / Cure Posted: Tuesday, January 12, 2010

Independent studies done by universities and corporations have illustrated a remarkable increase in the yield of viable stem cells after cryopreservation using AAGP™ in the freeze-thaw process. One future approach to increasing diabetics’ insulin production is related to an ability to convert their stem cells into islet cells for transplantation. The feasibility of this procedure is dependent upon the amount of functioning islet cells that can be derived from the patient’s stem cells. This is where AAGP™ can make a very beneficial contribution.
