A Mother’s Stem Cells May Help Treat Her Child’s Diabetes

It just keeps coming: The Telegraph is reporting that a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that “stem cells are passed from mothers to unborn children with type 1 diabetes and may help repair the damage caused by immune attacks on insulin-producing cells thought responsible for the development of the disease.” This could mean that a mother’s adult stem cells may be able to be harvested and used to treat her diabetic child.

There is so much happening on the non embryonic stem cell front that it boggles the mind.
