Genetically Modified Skin Cells May Control T2D In Mice

reports researchers “created genetically altered skin cells that may control type 2 diabetes in lab mice,” according to a study published in Cell Stem Cell. The researchers “created patches of skin cells that were able to release a hormone called GLP1 in a controlled manner,” which “spurs the production of insulin.” https://consumer.healthday.com/health-technology-information-18/gene-therapy-news-331/engineered-skin-cells-control-type-2-diabetes-in-mice-study-725262.html
