Biotech: Diabetes & Insulin

Diabetes is one of the most common diseases threatening the people on the planet. Immunity disorder will cause Type I diabetes, and obesity(or over nutritous) without sufficient exercises, sports may lead to Type II diabetes.

The two types differ in many ways, but one thing in common - they do not have enough insulin for the body to "digest" the food.... so we need to fill up the pipeline for insulin. One of the ways is to inject insulin producing cells... the "islets" into the patients, and let them produce the needed insulin with automatic control on the released amount. Human islets can do it, and pig isets can do it which have the advantage of "more abundant " supplies.

If we have the right push to culture the pigs for extracting their islets ( we can still their organs for other medical purposes and have their meat for our food too), master sophisticated surgical skills to extract the islets and inject into proper human positions, with the right quantities, and keep these islets alive in the patients' bodies...... that will "cure" the diabetes wholly, or at least to a large extent.

This will be a major medical breathrough for the diabetic patients all over the world ( and could bring a Nobel prize winner !) . The important value is to relieve the diabetes from young patients, aged patients, and their familes..... and as a side product, will represent enormous business opportunities. It seems the large pharma companies do not like to push this idea, which will detach the patients from buying the insulin, supplies from these pharmas.

LETS GO FOR THAT !!
