A recent news report from Science Daily told of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been used to create pure insulin-producing cells for diabetics by Singapore scientists.

The cells have been produced to provide diabetic patients with pure insulin producing cells in order for blood glucose levels of diabetics to be regulated naturally. The researchers, from the Institute of Medical Biology (IMB), are still experimenting with use on mice and have not achieved a level of safeness for use on humans yet, but have noted that “none of the diabetic mice involved in the transplant developed teratoma, which are a type of tumor associated with ESCs,” according to the news report. The results of the study were also published in Stem Cell Research.Developing DiabetesAccording to MedicineNet, which is an online healthcare site utilizing information and resources from the authors of Webster0s New World Medical Dictionary, describe diabetes mellitus as a “group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar levels, that result from defects in insulin secretion or action, or both.” Approximately 23.6 million Americans currently suffer from some form of d
