Addressing Stem Cell Therapeutic Approaches in Pathobiology of Diabetes and Its Complications
Cell-based therapies including pluripotent and multipotent adult stem cells show proven repair and regeneration potential and are being considered as a remedy for diabetic complications, which are the most prominent reason for high mortality among diabetic patients. They may also provide a long-term cure for diabetes and its complications.
A Future for Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Type 1 Diabetes
No alternative intervention strategies match, or even get close to, the clinical outcome achieved in a considerable number of patients treated with autologous stem cell transplantation. We propose that this patient group should be identified, diligently informed and offered the possible benefits of an extended period of insulin-free and burden-free survival,
