Summary:
Researchers at the Institute for Stem Cell Research at Edinburgh University in Scotland have made a breakthrough toward developing stem cell treatments for diabetes after conducting research on an African frog. They found a key protein they believe can be used to encourage embryonic stem cells to develop into the insulin-producing pancreatic cells that malfunction in patients with diabetes.
Commentary: Maybe this discovery can be used to develop new therapies and treatments for patients with diabetes.
