Stem Cell for Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes Mellitus more commonly reffered as diabetes is a chronic disease associated with abnormality high levels of the sugar glucose in the blood. Diabates is due to one of two mechanism, inedaquate production of insulin, or inedaquate sensitivity of cells to the action of insulin. The two main types of diabetes correspond to these two mechanism are called insulin dependent (type1) and non-insulin dependent (type2) diabetes.

With the increasing incidence of DM, several approaches to clinically deal with this disease have been reviewed so far. One of these new methods is the application of stem cell therapy to improve diabetic complications. With the popularity of cell therapy, in addition to increasing longevity, a healthier life is promising for humans.
