In a huge clinical achievement, Chinese researchers have effectively cured a patient's diabetes utilizing a groundbreaking cell therapy. This spearheading treatment was created by a group from Shanghai Changzheng Emergency clinic, the  Centre for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Renji Hospital, and was mentioned in the journal Cell  on April 30.

As per a sources, the patient went through the cell relocate in July 2021. Surprisingly, in something like eleven weeks, he at this point not needed outer insulin. In the following year, he continuously decreased and at last quit taking oral medication for blood sugar control. "Follow-up examinations showed that the patient’s pancreatic islet function was effectively restored," said Yin, one of the lead researchers. The patient has now been insulin-free for 33 months.

This achievement indicates a significant advancement in cell therapy for diabetes. Timothy Kieffer, a professor at the University of British Columbia, praised the study, saying, "I think this study represents an important advance in the field of cell therapy for diabetes."

The new treatment includes programming the patient's fringe blood mononuclear cells, changing them into "seed cells" to reproduce pancreatic islet tissue in a artificial climate. This approach use the body's regenerative capacities, an arising field known as regenerative medication.
