The islets’ insulin producers are called beta cells. (Cell types alpha, gamma, delta and epsilon perform other tasks.) They are the only bodily sources of that hormone.

One-year data suggest allogeneic stem cell-derived islet-cell therapy could become a future option for those with type 1 diabetes in whom the benefits outweigh the risks of immunosuppression.

Since the 1920s, the standard of care for type 1 diabetes was insulin replacement therapy—requiring millions of Americans to administer insulin via a pump or injection multiple times a day.
