Creating Human Beta Cells to Treat Diabetes
Douglas A. Melton, PhD, Harvard University HHMI, Cambridge, summarized a long history of basic research in pursue of functional human beta cells from embryonic stem cells and he has came very close. His advances are now at the levels of comparing two different models to escape graft rejection by the immune system. Stay tune for this incredibly development.
