In my understanding this could reverse the autoimmune reaction to Type 1 Diabetes not regrow the already killed β-cells.

I was wondering about that, curing Type 1 Diabetes would be a HELL of a breakthrough.

[-] Downcount@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Curing it would lead to massive losses of a specific industry.

It really would. I fear that anything remotely close to a "cure" would be thwarted by pharma because they profit so much from insulin.

I switched jobs a few months ago, and had about 2 weeks without insurance. my insulin prescription was over $4k.

I know that "pharma" can't just shut something down.. but I'm sure there's some loophole
