Scientists at Qatar Biomedical Research Institute (QBRI), in collaboration with researchers at Imperial College London, have discovered a new way to instruct isolated stem cells in a laboratory setting to secrete insulin when it is needed to maintain the correct sugar level in the body?s circulation.
The discovery is being described as a potentially significant breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes.
QBRI Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Centre scientific director Dr Nagy Habib is the lead investigator of the team of scientists at QBRI and Imperial College London that made the discovery.
The findings have just been published in Molecular Therapy-Nucleic Acids, the official journal of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy.
