Scientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis revealed on February 24 that they had successfully converted human stem cells into insulin-producing cells and demonstrated in mice infused with the converted cells that they can act as a rapid cure to diabetes.
The research transformed other types of cells into beta pancreatic cells which produce the insulin hormone needed by the body to break up blood sugar.
The findings were published in the journal Nature Biotechnology.
