New hopes for diabetic patients

Posted on April 13th, 2007 in Diagnosis, Diseases by admin

Millions and millions of diabetic patients are living with the hope that one day a new way will come to save their lives.New diagnosis may be some drugs or treatment.But now I guess their hopes are going to be come true.A group of researchers found that stem cells can be used to fight against diabetics and for those who are surviving by feeding insulin continuously.Stem cells are those immature cells which can develop to any kind of cells.Researchers performed an experiment using some stem cells.In Type one diabetes the beta cells which produce insulin is being destroyed by own immune system.US and Brazil scientist gave a strong drugs to the diabetic patients to weaken their immune system and after that they introduced the stem cells which are removed from their body to the blood stream.They found that beta cells have not been destroyed anymore and there is chance to diagnose diabetes at all.They are studying the result whether the stem cells developed in such a cell that avoid the immune system to further attack of beta cells or the stem cells replenish the beta cells.But for me whatever it be,now diabetic patients will no longer depend on insulin for their lives ahead.
