A study published in the journal Nature Biotechnology revealed that stem cell treatment for treating type 1 diabetes could soon become a reality. Researchers of the study found out a faster method to convert stem cells into cells producing insulin. The new method can convert the cells in six weeks compared to four months taken by earlier methods. This method takes a step closer to have an unlimited supply of insulin-producing cells to treat patients with Type 1 diabetes who have to be dependent on insulin injections for maintaining steady glucose levels. The method uses cell-culture to make stem cells
