Summary

Story summary

Stanford Medicine researchers developed a method using blood stem cell and pancreatic islet cell transplants to prevent Type 1 diabetes in mice.
The approach creates a hybrid immune system where donor and recipient cells coexist without insulin or immune-suppressive drugs.
In the study, all 19 prediabetic mice stayed diabetes-free, and nine with established diabetes were cured, with findings published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
