Scientists have been able to cure diabetes in mice, giving hope to millions of people

The researchers were able to achieve the normalization of sugar levels inblood in mice with severe diabetes mellitus, after which the symptoms of the disease did not appear for more than 9 months.

Diabetes mellitus is a dangerous chronica disease that affects more than 400 million people worldwide. However, a team of bioengineers from the University of Washington in St. Louis recently proved that it can be treated long-term, at least in mice.

For experiments investigated used micepatients with diabetes, with blood sugar readings of more than 27.75 mmol / l, which implanted human cells secreting insulin. After the operation, the animal body was able to control the secretion of the hormone and after two weeks the concentration of glucose in the blood returned to normal levels, remaining at that level for many months.

Despite the cure of mice, it is too early to talk about the effectiveness of this method for humans.However, the success of the team gives hope to millions of people that soon it will be possible to overcome the diseasefight.

Until such therapy is used, many diabetics suffer from various complications, one of which is non-healing wounds.Recently, however, scientists have invented a "smart" patch to effectively heal damaged tissues.
