In a medical first, doctors at Japan's Kyoto University Hospital have successfully transplanted lab-grown insulin-producing cells into a woman with Type 1 diabetes, marking a significant step forward in diabetes treatment. The cells, derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, were transplanted under her skin in February, eliminating the need for daily insulin injections. The patient, who has since been discharged, is now able to produce insulin naturally without side effects. This pioneering procedure, led by Professor Daisuke Yabe, is part of ongoing clinical trials aimed at making this treatment widely available by the 2030s. Earthquake in Japan: Quake of Magnitude 6 Jolts Kyushu, No Immediate Reports of Damage.
