TITLE:
Research Progress of Stem-Cell-Derived Islet Transplantation in the Treatment of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
ABSTRACT:
Islet transplantation has gradually become an ideal treatment for type 1 diabetes, but it is limited by a serious shortage of donor sources. Stem cells can be used to construct islet organoids with similar structure and function to human islets through proliferation and differentiation in vitro, so as to solve the problem of shortage of islet transplantation donors. In recent years, important progress has been made in basic research and clinical exploration of stem cell-derived islet transplantation in the treatment of type 1 diabetes.
