Dr. Faustman
So how come I never hear about these things?
Go, Dr. Faustman, go!
The executive summary for those of you who don't like to click on random links: looks like this lady has been showing repeated successful results in reversing type I diabetes in lab mice, and is ready to move to human trials in 2008. She's proven that the pancreas has an ability to regenerate beta cells on its own once the destructive T-cells - those that originally destroyed the beta cells, and that apparently continue to do so - are removed from a diabetic's blood. No autoimmune suppression necessary, no implants, no stem cells, nothing but a tightly controlled 40-day treatment and you're healthy again.
I may start praying soon. Anyone has a deity they want to suggest?
