Harvard University has produced the vast quantities of insulin-producing cells needed for transplants
A cure for diabetes could be imminent after scientists discovered how to make huge quantities of insulin-producing cells, in a breakthrough hailed as significant as antibiotics.
Harvard University has, for the first time, managed to manufacture the millions of beta cells required for transplantation.
It could mean the end of daily insulin injections for the 400,000 people in Britain living with Type 1 diabetes.

Scientists identified a new genetic mutation in people that causes type 1 diabetes, opening the door to novel treatments.
An ordinary patient visit recently led Swiss researchers to an extraordinary discovery: a single genetic mutation that causes type 1 diabetes, as reported today in the journal Cell Metabolism. The scientists are now exploring ways to translate their findings into clinical research, including a possible trial with drugs that activate the gene pathway, in the hopes of identifying new type 1 diabetes treatments.
“This is the first time that a single gene was found that directly leads to type 1 diabetes,” says Marc Donath, MD, the study’s senior author and an endocrinologist at University Hospital Basel in Switzerland. “This gene was quite well-known from animal studies and was not expected to lead to this kind of disease.”
