Osama Hamdi Details Breakthrough in Insulin Cell Transplantation
Dr. Osama Hamdi, Professor of Diabetes at Harvard University, revealed new developments in the treatment of Type 1 diabetes related to insulin cell transplantation. He explained that current research is focused on manufacturing new cells capable of producing insulin outside the body by using a piece of fat tissue. So far, insulin cell transplantation experiments have been successful in 16 cases, utilizing immunosuppressants, with the possibility of developing immune-escaped cells encapsulated within protective capsules. He also noted that some companies are working on developing more efficient artificial pancreases. Looking ahead, it may become possible to do without insulin injections altogether, which are currently considered a complementary treatment that works alongside exercise and dietary management, rather than a definitive cure for the disease. He emphasized that weight loss medications introduced since 2005 are now being used to treat diabetes as well, by stimulating insulin secretion and suppressing appetite.
