The human body creates insulin in the Langerhans glands. Does the cell vaccine in these nuts release type 1 diabetics daily from insulin injection? Although it still cannot be answered yes, doctors who have tried with 38-year-old patients in Los Angeles are hopeful. For the integration of insulin-producing pancreatic cells into the patient's peritoneum, they were first contained in new and stable microcapsules. Then they have tested animals and finally people. After nine months, insulintherapy is terminated to the person.
