In a groundbreaking development, the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine recently announced significant progress in their mission to find a cure for diabetes, now. Led by principal investigator Juan Dominguez-Bendala, Ph.D., the novel study used live slices of the human pancreas. This approach enabled the creation of single-cell maps to illustrate the regenerative pathways of the pancreas. These findings indicate that pancreatic stem-like cells have the potential to transform into insulin-producing beta cells. With further research, this development should help DRI scientists identify ways for the pancreas to heal in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients through pharmacological intervention.

 
Sounds promising. An interesting thought i had is would our immune system then gave the potential to attack those cells
