"A single infusion of a stem cell-based treatment may have cured 10 out of 12 people with the most severe form of type 1 diabetes. One year later, these 10 patients no longer need insulin. The other two patients need much lower doses." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/health/diabetes-cure-insulin-stem-cell.html pic.x.com/69uc2CglwX

NIH cuts will ensure that studies like this one never see the light of day. Call your Senator. #NIHbudget #diabetes www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/health/diabetes-cure-insulin-stem-cell.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Qk8.Kxkv.aC-0kyxlLg8W&smid=url-share

Wow. 10 of 12 patients no longer insulin dependent 1 year after transplant with allogeneic stem cell–derived islet cells! www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2506549
