Because the cells in the current study come from the same animal in which they are transplanted, they also overcome hurdles of rejection or the need for immunosuppressive drugs, such is the case when people receive donor pancreatic cells.
Read an article either linked here or stumbled upon somewhere that came to a similar conclusion. There seems to be a lot of ways to harvest stem cells but when it comes down to implanting something created by them, if they come from the same person chances of rejection are greatly reduced.
Sorry if I missed this in the linked article, but if Type II Adult Onset Diabetes is an autoimmune disease, then how can you protect these cells without immunosuppressive drugs?
Also, I don’t think this would work with Juvenile Diabetes, which I think is basically a genetic defect?
Faster please.
Thanks.
