The Cure to Diabetes!

Stem cell research over at the University of California, Irvine is booming!  Dr. Ken Cho is on his way to finding the cure for diabetes.  He has discovered over 50 genes in mouse embryonic stem cells that promote insulin-producing cells.  If he is able to activate these genes in mice, he's one step closer to finding out how to activate them in humans.  Activating these cells will mean that a diabetic person's life-style can go back to normal with their cells producing insulin for them.diabetes.jpg
