Discovery of insulin-producing cells by Doug Melton

Doug Melton, a scientist at Harvard University in America, about 23 years ago, his infant son developed type 1 diabetes, so he decided to switch to a study of “stem cells” to find a cure for this dreaded disease. After more than 15 years of experiments, Dr. Doug was able to Milton and a group of researchers, from converting "embryonic stem cells" to "pancreatic beta cells" responsible for the production of "insulin", where researchers were able to treat all "experimental mice" of diabetes in the short term, while a third of them maintained blood sugar levels. Natural throughout their lives, in what looks like a miracle, the impressive success of the treatment gave the green light to researchers to try it on humans, and the beginning was with a patient named "Brian Shelton", whose life was described as tragic as it was ruled by type 1 diabetes. When the level of "sugar" in his blood drops, he loses consciousness without warning after receiving the new treatment, his body was able to automatically control the levels of "insulin and blood sugar", as he became the first patient in the world to recover from type 1 diabetes completely, according to a report published The American newspaper, "New York Times", after the success of the experiment, "Brian Shelton" commented, "It is a completely new life. It looks like a miracle. It is expected that experiments on humans will continue for five years before the treatment is finally approved. Image ..
