Summary:

Scientists have managed through stem cell transplants to free a small group of diabetics from their dependence on insulin injections. The experiment suggests that type 1 diabetes, which is genetic, unlike obesity-related type 2, could one day be prevented or reversed, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association.
