stem cell therapy is an emerging medical treatment that shows great potential for the treatment of certain diseases, including diabetes.
1. Insulin β-cell regeneration: Diabetes, especially type 1 diabetes, is due to insulin inoculation due to the destruction of beta-celled insulin. The stem cell therapy can facilitate the regeneration of β-cells in insulin by: Cell integration: stem cells are integrated with existing insulin cells to enhance insulin cell functioning. Immunisation regulation: In type 1 diabetes, self-immunisation response attacks β cells in insulin. The stem cells have immunosuppressive effects and can: Promotion of immunosuppressability: Helping the body to receive transplanted insulin cells and preventing exclusion.
3. Promotion of angiogenesis: stem cells can promote angiogenesis, improve the blood supply of pancreas and contribute to the survival and functioning of insulin cells.
4. Provision of growth factors and support cells: stem cells can produce multiple growth factors and cell factors that support the survival and functioning of β-cells insulin or promote their regeneration. The process of achieving a specific cure may include the following steps: Treatment of stem cells: In vitro training and directional separation of stem cells into insulin beta cells or cells that function as insulin beta cells. Transplantation of stem cells: Transplantation of treated stem cells to patients by intravenous injection or direct injection into pancreas. Monitoring and adjustment: Following transplantation, patients are monitored on a long-term basis with immunosuppressive or other support treatment if necessary.
It is important to note that, although stem cell therapy shows promise for diabetes treatment, it is still at the research and clinical trial stage and is not yet a mainstream treatment. In addition, the safety and long-term effects of stem cell therapy require additional clinical data to be validated. It is therefore too early to say that stem cell therapy can “cure” diabetes, but it does provide new directions for future treatment of diabetes.
