摘要
Many approaches of stem-cell therapy for the treatment of diabetes have been described. One is the application of stem cells for replacement of nonfunctional islet cells in the native endogenous pancreas; another one is the use of stem cells as an inexhaustible source for islet-cell transplantation. During recent years three types of stem cells have been investigated: embryonic stem cells, bone-marrow-derived stem cells and organ-bound stem cells. We discuss the advantages and limitations of these different cell types. The applicability for the treatment of dysfunction of 0 cells in the pancreas has been demonstrated for all three cell types, but more-detailed understanding of the sequence of events during differentiation is required to produce fully functional insulin-producing cells.
