Research on Pancreatic Cells Offer New Hope Diabetes Treatment

Researchers were glad to know that stem cells might be able to perform the functions of pancreatic cells in certain instances. This can be highly beneficial in lowering the risk of diabetes in one. After studying about pancreatic agenesis in detail, experts are of the opinion that the gene GATA 6 has a key role to play here.

In case of one suffering from pancreatic agenesis, it has been observed that fifteen among twenty- seven people experience a mutation in this gene GATA 6. By comprehending with this relationship, the researchers seem to be assertive about treating diabetes 1 in one by producing beta cells in them.

The Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry has been happy to know and understand this relationship as it might support their treatment towards the treatment of diabetes.

Diabetes has been one of the most common and detrimental disorder that mankind is suffering from these days. Many diabetes medicines are there in market.
