A diabetes expert at Brighton University is backing calls for more government funding to find a cure for the condition.
Adrian Bone, professor of cell and molecular biology, is leading what the university described as one of the most innovative research projects to find a cure for the disease.
His research, which is funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, offers fresh hope for those with type 1 or juvenile diabetes.
It found that, contrary to popular belief, insulin-producing beta cells attempt to replicate themselves in response to the development of diabetes.
Professor Bone said that this offered hope that it may be possible to develop therapies that could allow some patients with type 1 diabetes to renew their own capacity to produce insulin.
