Track 17: Stem Cell-Based Therapies in Diabetes
Research into stem cell therapies for diabetes focuses on generating insulin-producing beta cells from pluripotent sources. This approach has the potential to revolutionize diabetes management by reducing the need for insulin therapy. Stem cell based treatments aim to regenerate these insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, offering the possibility of reversing the disease.
