Pancreatic Cells One Genetic Tweak From Treating Diabetes
Original: Some Pancreatic Cells Are Just One Genetic Tweak Away From Treating Diabetes https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.wire d.c
Wired reports that certain pancreatic cells could be reprogrammed with a single genetic modification to produce insulin, offering a potential new route to treating diabetes. The finding suggests alpha cells in the pancreas might be converted into insulin-producing beta-like cells, an approach that could one day support therapies for people whose insulin-producing cells have been destroyed.
Why now: New research suggesting a simple genetic change could turn pancreatic cells into insulin producers offers hope for diabetes treatment.
