Summary:
The New York Times reports on a recent study using adult stem cells to attempt to treat diabetes:
"Thirteen young diabetics in Brazil have been able to stop receiving insulin after being treated with stem cells taken from their own blood, researchers are reporting. The experimental procedure has enabled the young people, who have Type 1 diabetes, to live free of insulin shots for as long as three years so far, according to the study, being published Wednesday in The Journal of the American Medical Association."
