Transplantation of Insulin-Producing Cells Derived from Umbilical Cord Stromal Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Treat NOD Mice

Diabetes mellitus can be treated with islet transplantation, although there is a scarcity of donors. This study investigated whether human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from umbilical cord stroma could be induced to differentiate into insulin-producing cells and the effects of retro-orbital injectio...
