A clinical trial by Vertex Pharmaceuticals has shown that lab-grown stem cell–derived islet cells can restore natural insulin production in people with severe type 1 diabetes.

The results highlight a major step forward for regenerative medicine and a potential pathway to curing other chronic diseases.
