Novel Stem Cell Therapy From Cellonis Biotechnologies Can Help Children With Diabetes Get Back Their Normal Lives

26-Aug-2010 - China

Cellonis Biotechnologies has recorded some remarkable results in the treatment of a twelve-year-old boy with diabetes using their stem cell therapy in a Beijing partner hospital. He has completely regained his normal life, enjoying sports and school activities just like every other person his age, and has been free from injections and drugs for more than half a year.

The boy's doctor during the treatment, Dr. Shi, is similarly satisfied. "The efficacy of our patient's treatment surprised me a lot," she commented. "He hasn't taken insulin injections for eight months, and so does not need to worry about his blood glucose during PE. Also, diabetes can stunt a child's growth, with diabetic children being smaller and weaker than other children, but he has grown more than 10 cm during this last half year. This is excellent news."

"Stem cell treatment is a new hope for diabetes sufferers," Dr. Shi continued. "It can replace dysfunctional pancreatic cells, getting to the root of the disease. Stem cell treatment, both for diabetes and for many other diseases, represents a new age for medicine."
