[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 998253, member: 13582"] Anyone seen this? Sounds pretty good. [URL]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/12016532/End-of-daily-injections-for-diabetes-as-scientists-restore-insulin-production.html[/URL] If it's blocking you this is the gist of it: "The end of daily injections for [URL='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/11151909/Cure-for-Type-1-diabetes-imminent-after-Harvard-stem-cell-breakthrough.html']diabetes sufferers[/URL] could be in sight after scientists showed it is possible to restore insulin production for up to a year by boosting the immune system. Hundreds of thousands of people in Britain suffer from Type 1 diabetes and need to inject themselves daily to keep blood sugar levels under control. The [URL='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/10794029/How-human-cloning-could-cure-diabetes.html']disease[/URL] attacks insulin-secreting cells in the pancreas. Healthy people have billions of ‘peacekeeping’ cells called ‘T-regs’ which protect insulin-making cells from the immune system but people suffering Type 1 diabetes do not have enough. Now researchers at the University of California and Yale have shown that the ‘T-regs’ can be removed from the body, increased by 1,500x in the laboratory and infused back into the bloodstream to restore normal function.
