Only if the stem cells are from adults, not embryonic cells

Pharma will sit on this for another 4 decades to make money of new forms of insulin.

Since Type 1 is an autoimmune disease resulting from the body killing off the beta cells in the pancreas, what prevents the immune system from killing these new beta cells?

That is the trick. Figure out how to stimulate the body to create stem cells in mass. Or outside the body. There are huge benefits and many diseases and injuries can be cured and healed.

Question—Were these stem cells taken from live fetuses?

There is such a thing as induced pluripotent stem cells, which don’t involve the unborn.

I am surprised that an article like this was allowed by Big Pharma to be published ... unless they already know that the process does not work in humans.

I’m not so surprised.

Cellular cures are expensive. They have to be genetically tailored to the patient so their immune system doesn’t knock out the injected cells.

So is this genetic diabetes or fat unhealthy slothful diabetes? So another drug to let them keep being fat nd unhealthy? I shouldn’t have to subsidize this dangerous behavior and they shouldn’t have access to these drugs anyway bc it will continue this dangerous behavior to themselves and and others around them

I’m pretty sure not all embryonic are aborted.

Curing diabetes, cancer, MS etc etc etc is a NO NO. There’s way too much R&D and product sales money, and salaries, to be made by Big Pharma and the cottage industries surrounding each disease.

Hopefully, if they don’t already know, they can determine what factors encourage the immune system to kill the Beta cells, and tailor the new Beta cells to not fit the attack profile.
