I'm moving a client's mail service from one server to another- so while I'm waiting for all these files to transfer over the network, I thought I'd post something.
The most recent issue of "Diabetes E-News Now" has a link to a very interesting article: "Patient-Specific Stem Cells Cloned".
In a nutshell, South Korean research scientists have successfully created embryonic stem cells from nuclear transfer processes (as opposed to actually creating and harvesting human embryos). This bears very good news for type-1 diabetics like myself because it means medical science is a big leap closer to being able to create custom-tailored insulin producing pancreatic cells that the body won't reject.
The next step in curing type-1 diabetes altogether is stopping the body's immune system from attacking the islet cells.
