Is Stem Cell Research The Answer To Diabeties |
|
|
|
Diabeties is a grouping of metabolic
disorders which interrupts with the normal breakdown of blood sugar due
to non production of the hormone insulin and like cancer it's a chronic
disease and in most of the cases a fatal one too.
In diabeties, the body is either not able to produce enough
Insulin and is not able to regulate the breakdown of the blood sugar in
the human body and is normally categorized in two main and one
subcategory– Type I, Type II diabeties and Gestational diabeties.
Type
I diabeties is
also called Juvenile diabeties and it occurs because the
human body's autoimmune system does not produce enough insulin to combat
the foreign bodies entering the bloodstream. It is caused by genetic and
environmental factors.
Stem cells are usually uncoded cells (they
don't have a set function or we can say blank cells) which can be
transformed into Pancreatic cells to increase the production of Insulin
from the Islets in the Beta cells. This type of research is called Stem
Cell research and it's going to be the only cure against diabeties in
the near future.
