Dr Faustman vaccine goes to human trials

[Celsus]

Lets keep our fingers crossed for Dr Faustman and her team, who has worked tirelessly on this for many years.
Always liked the outlook if this method could work, as its scalable and need no organ/cell donors.
Now as we well know, mice have been cured for diabetes hundreds of times while transferring same to humans have failed miserably.
The approach here is certainly novel, so lets hope the best.

It is interesting Celcus but I always hate reading the line "it may be ready in 10 years'. This always seems to be a rolling ten years from whenever you want to start counting.

To me this is like scientists saying, ' we've got a good idea now give us some money and we'll go away and play for a while.'

Yeah good one Urbanracer, unfortunately the classic disclaimer we have been reading for as many years we have been diabetics. And yes, that's unfortunately a high multiples of tens by now. Much like this situation:

Think though to recall that Dr Faustman got a large pool of $ quite recently, but maybe they already burned through them by now? What I do like though is, she has always been very realistic and pragmatic in cure research. Just getting to the stage of getting permission and doing human trials with a real cure solution is a major accomplishment in my book. We do unfortunately see too few of those.
