Type 1 diabetes is caused by an insufficient production of the hormone insulin by cells in the pancreas called beta cells and estimated to affect 9.5 million people worldwide. Low insulin levels allow glucose levels to remain elevated, which in the long term can damage organs such as the kidneys, th

Original Title: Human stomach cells tweaked to make insulin to treat diabetes: Scientists genetically engineer human stomach organoids, transplanted into diabetic mice. Upon turning on genetic switch, human stomach cells converted to insulin secreting cells to control blood sugar levels and ameliorate diabetes.
