Recovering T Regulatory Cells in Pancreas May Restore Insulin Production in Diabetics
The key to restoring production of insulin in type I diabetic patients, previously known as juvenile diabetes, may be in recovering the population of protective cells known T regulatory cells in the lymph nodes at the "gates" of the pancreas.

Noninsulin-Producing Alpha Cells in the Pancreas Can Be Converted to Insulin-Producing Beta Cells
In findings that add to the prospects of regenerating insulin-producing cells in people with type 1 diabetes, researchers have shown that insulin-producing beta cells can be derived from non-insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
