Stem cell transplantation for the treatment of diabetes is still in the stage of clinical trials and the effect is not clear, so it is not clear whether stem cell transplantation can completely treat diabetes.
Stem cells come from a wide range of sources, such as umbilical cord and bone marrow. Moreover, stem cells have the functions of self-proliferation, differentiation and repair, and it is possible for them to differentiate into pancreatic β-cells to secrete insulin and treat diabetes. In addition, stem cells have the function of repairing broken tissues. After the pancreas is damaged, stem cells can play the role of regeneration and repair to achieve the purpose of treating diabetes.
It is recommended that diabetic patients should seek medical treatment in time, and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of doctors.
