The big caveat here is that 'cured in lab tests' and a viable human treatment are two different things, and sadly the former doesn't always lead to the latter. Still, this points to what may work in the future. Just how much of our tissue could be replaced by brand new 3-d printed tissue?
True, but as someone who's had type 1 diabetes for 37 years, I'm excited to see them coming up with new ideas to test in the lab. They have to start with something and it gives me hope. Thanks for posting this :)
