Advances in Cell Replacement Therapies for Diabetes
(Diabetes, 2025)
Our leadership identifies this landmark study as a definitive roadmap for the next generation of type 1 diabetes management. By synthesizing the success of phase 3 clinical trials with the emerging potential of stem cell-derived beta cells, this work highlights the critical shift from experimental islet transplantation to scalable, sustainable cell replacement. We view this review as a pivotal step in overcoming the challenges of glycemic lability and chronic immunosuppression, effectively bridging the gap between groundbreaking laboratory discovery and global clinical application.
