Osama Hamdi reports insulin cell transplant progress
Dr. Osama Hamdi, Professor of Diabetes at Harvard University, revealed new developments in the treatment of Type 1 diabetes. Research is moving towards producing new fat cells that can generate insulin outside the body, rather than relying solely on synthetic insulin. So far, insulin cell transplantation experiments have been successful in 16 cases using immunosuppressants, with potential strategies to develop resistant cells that can evade the immune system by placing them in protective capsules. Additionally, companies are working on developing more efficient artificial pancreases aimed at regulating blood sugar levels. It is important to note that insulin is not considered a definitive cure but rather a supplement, alongside exercise and dietary management. It is expected that insulin use may eventually be discontinued, especially as new weight-loss medications emerge that stimulate insulin secretion and activate the pancreas, which are currently used in diabetes treatment.
