Novel approach allows islet transplants to survive and control diabetes

In type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune response attacks the pancreas's insulin-producing beta cells, leading to marked fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Lifelong daily insulin treatments are standard for patients, but replacing lost beta cells through transplants of islets, a group of cells in the pancreas, represents an attractive option.
