Stem cells reverse woman’s diabetes — a world first (www.nature.com)

A 25-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes started producing her own insulin less than three months after receiving a transplant of reprogrammed stem cells1. She is the first person with the disease to be treated using cells that were extracted from her own body.

“I can eat sugar now,” said the woman, who lives in Tianjing, on a call with Nature. It has been more than a year since the transplant, and, she says, “I enjoy eating everything — especially hotpot.” The woman asked to remain anonymous to protect her privacy.

James Shapiro, a transplant surgeon and researcher at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, says the results of the surgery are stunning. “They’ve completely reversed diabetes in the patient, who was requiring substantial amounts of insulin beforehand.”

Eh, gotta be honest though. Democrats (at the Federal level) love money. Pelosi's latest Visa stock gambit, vaccines, etc. They use the Republicans to stay profitable. Repubs contrive a fear, Dems monetize it. Capitalists at their core. Not looking out for the People. Just wall street. Because they genuinely believe the machine is what keeps us all living our lives, and to love the machine, and why not make some scratch while you're at it?
