Prospects for complete cure of diabetes of the first type have already become real after the scientists were able to transform ordinary skin cells into those that produce insulin. While this technology has been successfully running the reprogramming in laboratory mice.
diabetes first type
the first type of diabetes is an incurable chronic disease in which patients have several times a day to prick themselves with insulin on a regular basis and do tests on your blood sugar levels. Among common diabetic complications appear diabetic coma, blindness, and diabetic foot (polyneuropathy), in which patients are often amputated limbs. For decades, the science is trying hard to find a way
diabetes first type But the disease is too hard.

American scientists from the Gladstone Institute and the University of California, close to the opening of this process, when we have learned to transform ordinary skin cells into those that produce insulin. Turn-based technology designed to reprogram the skin fibroblast cells taken from laboratory mice. By the end of this process, the cells turn into immature precursor of beta cells of the pancreas - "insulin factory" of the body.
When these cells were inserted into mice genetically programmed to symptoms of diabetes, their abnormal blood sugar levels back to normal indicator. According to experts, a significant step in the development of diabetes first type with stem cells. It is known that in this disease the person's own immune system attacks and destroys the beta cells that produce insulin. (READ MORE)
