In a remarkable medical breakthrough, Chinese scientists have successfully cured a patient of type 2 diabetes through an innovative cell therapy approach.
Second, it was done on a case-by-case basis. Each person has their own therapy tailored for them. This does not appear to be a mass-solution.
The groundbreaking treatment involved transplanting lab-grown replicas of the patient’s own insulin-producing islet cells into their body. This ingenious approach effectively restored the patient’s pancreatic islet function, enabling the body to regulate blood sugar levels naturally without external intervention.
From the linked article:
According to a South China Morning Post report, the patient underwent the cell transplant in July 2021.

The new therapy involves programming the patient’s peripheral blood mononuclear cells, transforming them into “seed cells” to recreate pancreatic islet tissue in an artificial environment. This approach leverages the body’s regenerative capabilities, an emerging field known as regenerative medicine.
Yeah I don’t see mention in the article of (so far) any observable reaction from the US pharma industry. It’s maybe reasonable as conjecture but not something we can claim as a fact.

Ok, first, it only applies to Type 2 diabetes.

What is this medium blog nonsense with a nonsense headline?
The last time this was posted people pointed out this therapy isn’t new, as far as I remember.
This is blog spam. I saw no citations about any insulin companies being angry.
