Dr. Pere Santamaria just wanted to get a closer look at an inflamed pancreas as part of his diabetes research.
The University of Calgary professor developed a contrast agent, similar to those used for MRIs, expecting it would better highlight what was happening in the insulin-producing gland.
It didn?t.
Instead, injecting that agent into diabetic animals has led to the possibility of a treatment that can both prevent and reverse Type 1 diabetes in people, offering hope to millions who suffer from the disease.
