A small but promising trial has brought renewed hope to those with type 1 diabetes. Ten out of 12 patients who received an experimental stem cell treatment no longer require insulin a year after the infusion.

Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the findings suggest this may be a game-changing step towards a functional cure. Even the remaining two participants saw a significant reduction in insulin needs.

If the results continue, the medication could be submitted for regulatory approval next year.

So many good news stories this week. I especially like the Diabetes one. It seems the stem cell treatment is going very well.
Just wish I could still support some of all the medical research going on right now.
So much good coming from it.
