For over a century, diabetes has meant daily injections, constant monitoring, and a lifetime of management. But now, scientists in China and researchers at Vertex Pharmaceuticals in the United States have done something shocking, they used stem cells to create new insulin-producing cells and transplanted them into real patients.
And here’s the twist…
Some people with Type 1 diabetes started making their own insulin again.
No pump. No syringe. Just living cells doing their job. It’s not a full cure yet. Trials are still small, and long-term results are unknown. But for the first time, medicine isn’t just managing diabetes, it’s trying to rebuild the pancreas itself.
Science fiction?
Not anymore..
