They don't all use gene therapy, but I would be very cautious about using gene therapy.<br /><br />http://www.jdrf.ca/news-and-media/in-the-news/researchers-use-nanoparticle-vaccine-to-cure-type-1-diabetes-in-mice/<br /><br />https://www.theverge.com/2017/1/25/14383222/diabetes-study-mice-rat-interspecies-organ-transplant-cure<br /><br />https://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/blog/a-diabetes-cure-in-mice/Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17019921800841883073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4893234962600967689.post-71944536374507655682017-09-15T07:54:28.506-07:002017-09-15T07:54:28.506-07:00Can you point me to other examples of work where t...Can you point me to other examples of work where type 1 mice were able to produce their own insulin long term as a result of gene therapy so I can understand more about all the examples you have seen.

Also, gene transfer with a virus is scary and complex, so it will be a long time before this becomes available in humans. It's still interesting.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17019921800841883073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4893234962600967689.post-35560411482654042162017-09-14T09:14:56.393-07:002017-09-14T09:14:56.393-07:00Gretchen have you seen the work of Dr Doiron in Sa...Gretchen have you seen the work of Dr Doiron in San Antonio?
