Diabetes Transplant Experiments Show Partial Insulin Recovery
A surgeon reports limited success from experimental diabetes transplants using insulin producing cells from deceased donors injected into patients’ spleens.

The study indicates potential toward a cure, though results are preliminary and short term.
