A new article on a stem cell-based therapy for diabetes has been just published. With this method, we can make insulin-producing cells in 15 days. This is incredible.

In Type 1 Diabetes, we still need to find a way to avoid autoimmunity. In Wolfram syndrome, we need to modify the WFS1 gene locus in skin cell-derived stem cells. However, I feel that a cure for diabetes is approaching. We should keep on developing new therapy to provide a cure for patients suffering from challenging conditions. I would like to thank Dr. Kieffer’s team and Dr. Johnson’s team for developing this new method.
