Treating Diabetes With Stem Cell Educator Therapy is Safe, Effective

Stem Cell Educator therapy, a treatment which helps in treating patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes was found to improve the function of islet beta cells.

A treatment called Stem Cell Educator therapy was found to be safe and effective for treating Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, reveals a new research.

The therapy cultures the patient's immune cells with cord blood stem cells and returns only the "educated" immune cells to the patient's circulation.

Novel Approach to Treating Type 1 Diabetes Revealed
Cells in the patient's intestine can be transformed into insulin producing cells, suggests research.

‘Stem Cell Educator therapy improves the function of islet beta cells in both type 1 and 2 diabetic patients.’

The strategy may provide benefits because abnormalities in multiple types of immune cells contribute to the autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes and the insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes.

"Current mechanistic studies demonstrated that platelets and their released mitochondria may contribute to the long-lasting clinical improvement of islet beta cell function in type 1 and 2 diabetic patients after Stem Cell Educator therapy," said Dr. Yong Zhao, lead author of the Stem Cells Translational Medicine study.

"This therapy can also be applied to treat other autoimmune and inflammation-related diseases."

Compounds in Red Grapes and Oranges can Treat Type 2 Diabetes
The compounds called trans-resveratrol (tRES), in red grapes, and hesperetin (HESP), in oranges were found to be effective to improve insulin activity.
