Stem cell therapy has effectively cured Type 1 diabetes in clinical trials, eliminating the need for insulin injections in treated patients. The breakthrough could free millions from daily diabetes management.
Diabetes cure breakthrough
Trial Results
Patients receiving stem cell-derived insulin-producing cells achieved normal blood sugar levels without insulin injections. After one year, 80% remained insulin-independent.
How It Works
Stem cells are programmed to become insulin-producing beta cells, then implanted in patients. The cells respond to blood sugar levels naturally, eliminating the need for external insulin.
Path to Approval
Larger trials are underway with FDA fast-track designation. If successful, the treatment could be available by 2027 for the 1.6 million Americans with Type 1 diabetes.
