A major breakthrough in the treatment of type 1 diabetes has been announced: a new therapy called VX-880 allows the body to produce its own insulin again. Early clinical trial results indicate that the method is effective in most patients.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by National Geographic<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Scientists have announced the most significant advance in the treatment of type 1 diabetes in a century. A new therapy called VX-880 has shown that the body can restore its ability to produce insulin without daily injections.<\/p>\n

The VX-880 method<\/strong> is currently being tested in clinical trials. Patients are injected with specially engineered cells that can develop into insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. Treatment also involves taking immunosuppressants.<\/p>\n

According to the study, the first patients who participated in the program have not required additional insulin injections for more than two years. Out of a total of 14 participants, 10 people showed a positive result.<\/p>\n

The publication notes that the researchers plan to continue the study to test the safety and effectiveness of the therapy in a wider group of patients. For now, the method is only used in those who cannot control their sugar levels with traditional methods.<\/p>\n

“The new approach restores the very source of insulin production – beta cells,” the scientists noted.<\/p>\n

The article recalls that until 1921, type 1 diabetes was a fatal disease. The discovery of insulin by Frederick Banting and Charles Best made treatment possible, but the constant dependence on injections remained. VX-880 therapy could change the approach to treating the disease in the future.<\/p>\n

Scientists emphasize that the method is the result of many years of stem cell research and the personal motivation of researchers whose loved ones have experienced diabetes.<\/p>\n

Recall that researchers from the Institute for Bioelectronic Medicine in New York have created an innovative technology that uses sound waves to treat inflammation, diabetes, and obesity<\/a> without surgery.<\/p>\n
