Oxygen-tracking method could improve diabetes treatment
Daniel Anderson | Via MIT | February 25, 2019Transplanting pancreatic islet cells into patients with diabetes is a promising alternative to the daily insulin injections that many of these patients now require. These cells could act as a bioartificial pancreas, monitoring blood glucose levels and secreting insulin when needed. For this kind of transplantation to be successful, scientists need to make sure that […]
