Unlocking the potential of renewable β cells and precision gene editing, researchers aim to revolutionize diabetes care and bring us closer to a functional cure for type 1 diabetes.
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Reviews Endocrinology, researchers examined the progress in cell replacement therapies for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), focusing on generating replenishable β cells, improving transplantation methods, and addressing challenges related to immune modulation and clinical application.
