Rare Genetic Disorder Provides Clues to Development of the Pancreas, Stem Cell Programming
The finding provides a clue to how it may be possible to ‘program’ stem cells — master cells in the body that can develop into specialized cells — to become pancreatic cells. Continue reading
Liver & Pancreas Precursor Cells Created Using New Stem Cell Production Method for Type 1 Diabetes
Scientists in Canada have overcome a key research hurdle to developing regenerative treatments for diabetes and liver disease with a technique to produce medically useful amounts of endoderm cells from human pluripotent stem cells. Continue reading

Diabetes and the Stem Cell Promise
The search for a cure, or even a less-complicated treatment, is still on a long road to its goal. Ever since scientists started talking about the medical potential of embryonic stem cells, curing Type 1 diabetes has been one of the dearest dreams. Continue reading

Stem Cell Researchers Conduct Diabetes Study That ‘Could Change the Course of Medicine’
When infused into the body the stem cells nudge up against damaged tissue and “listen for chemical signals that let them know where they are needed,” Shields said. “We think this is probably a new frontier in medicine.” Continue reading

Intestinal Stem Cells Respond to Food by Supersizing the Gut
A study from University of California, Berkeley, researchers demonstrates that adult stem cells can reshape our organs in response to changes in the body and the environment, a finding that could have implications for diabetes and obesity. Continue reading

Neural Stem Cell Transplant May Tackle Diabetes
A patient’s neural stem cells could be used as an alternative source of the beta cells needed for a regenerative treatment for diabetes. The research reveals how harvesting stem cells could overcome a lack of beta cell transplants from donors. Continue reading
Uterine Stem Cells Used to Treat Diabetes in Mice
Researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have converted stem cells from the human endometrium into insulin-producing cells and transplanted them into mice to control the animals’ diabetes. Continue reading
