Human Bone Marrow Cells Repair Damaged Beta Cells

Posted: Thursday, December 07, 2006

Researchers have used cells from human bone marrow to repair damaged pancreatic beta cells in mice. The study offers hopes that these stem cells could be used to treat diabetes in humans. The stem cells also halted damage to the kidneys caused by diabetes.

Breakthrough in Tracking Islet Cells Will Help in Finding a Cure

Posted: Thursday, November 30, 2006

Scientists in London have found a way to track insulin-producing islet cells after they have been transplanted, a breakthrough in the drive to find a cure for diabetes.

Human Stem Cells Stimulate Insulin Production in Diabetic Mice

Posted: Thursday, November 16, 2006

Transplantation of human stromal cells into diabetic mice stimulated native mouse beta cells to produce insulin, and the human cells were taken up into the animals' glomerular epithelium.

Unlimited Supply of Beta Cells Found

Posted: Wednesday, October 25, 2006

Diabetes in Control interviewed Novocells’ Chief Scientific Officer, Emmanual Baetge and he told us that they have determined the necessary conditions for turning human embryonic stem cells into insulin-producing cells, a finding that moves the prospect of using these cells to treat diabetes closer to the clinic.
