AHMEDABAD: Insulin-making stem cells derived from fat in the abdominal wall have shown to decrease insulin doses for diabetics by an average of 50%, experts at Institute of Kidney Diseases and Research Center (IKDRC) claimed here on Thursday.

Dr H L Trivedi, director of IKDRC, said that a paper with data of 20 insulin-dependent diabetics who responded well to Insulin Secreting Cells (ISC) implanted in them was presented at the International Cell Transplant Society's Congress in Milan recently.
