Implantable cells offer hope for type 1 diabetes patients

Scientists have developed a device that can be implanted in the body to produce insulin and sustain itself with its own oxygen production. The device has shown promising results in mice and is now being tested in humans, specifically in children with a condition that prevents them from growing all of their permanent teeth. While still in the early stages of testing, this breakthrough could potentially provide a long-term solution for individuals with type 1 diabetes and those who have difficulty growing teeth.
