If you pair this with genetically engineered hypoimmune islet cells to avoid needing to suppress immune system you could have a viable cure. https://ir.sana.com

- y-curious 2y agoYes, immunity is the big problem. You probably need to replenish the islets either way. Also, I don't think doctors would be content giving someone that isn't suppressed this without loads of research.
- gsf_emergency_2 2y agoYes! You can also induce islet cells from the patient's own stem cells: https://stemcellres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13287-024-04036-0 https://stemcellres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s1328...
- tech2 2y agoExcept, a diabetic's immune system already wants to kill those too...
- gsf_emergency_2 2y agoTrue, Sana above are attempting to extend their gene engineering ("HIP") to stem cells as well >apply the HIP technology to develop therapeutic candidates at scale, including both pluripotent stem cells and donor-derived allogeneic CAR T cells.
