Dr. Bernstein was the first person to believe that diabetics were truly entitled to the same blood sugars as non-diabetics. An idea that industry *literally* laughed at when Dr. Bernstein brought this idea up at conferences, while his methods to obtain normoglycemia were openly mocked and rejected by authorities in the medical community. This clip is from a great movie produced by @LetMeBe83 called The Diabetes Solution. youtu.be/9H163_uHfSw?si… Definitely worth a watch 👍👍

@Hoonyusi If it is cold where you are - an electric throw rug.

ATTENTION CAT OWNERS!!! I've been thinking about adopting a cat lately, so I started researching online all the essential items I should buy before welcoming a furry friend into my home. But I'd like to ask you what is the MOST IMPORTANT thing to buy when getting a new cat?

I got sent this on WhatsApp and as it’s Christmas I thought I would share it with you x

Type 1 diabetes was cured in mice – permanently. In a groundbreaking study, scientists successfully halted type 1 diabetes in mice by co-transplanting blood-forming stem cells and insulin-producing islet cells from a donor. This created a mixed (chimeric) immune system — part donor, part recipient — that tolerated the new islet cells and prevented further autoimmune attacks on the pancreas. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system mistakenly destroys the body’s own insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic islets. The new approach essentially “resets” this faulty immune response. - Mice first received low-dose radiation and targeted antibodies to mildly suppress (but not wipe out) their immune system. - They were then given donor hematopoietic stem cells (to rebuild a tolerant immune system) and healthy donor pancreatic islets (to restore insulin production). - A short course of an existing immunosuppressive drug was added to bridge the process. The results were striking: no rejection of the transplanted cells, no graft-versus-host disease, and complete prevention or reversal of diabetes. In one group, all 19 treated mice remained diabetes-free; in another, all 9 mice with established diabetes were fully cured. Importantly, nearly every component of this protocol — the antibodies, low-dose radiation, and immunosuppressive drugs — is already approved and routinely used in human medicine. This dramatically shortens the path to clinical trials in people. Challenges remain, particularly the limited supply of human islet cells and the need for donor-recipient matching. However, researchers are actively developing lab-grown islets and techniques to generate larger quantities of compatible tissue. If proven safe and effective in humans, this strategy could not only cure type 1 diabetes but also revolutionize treatment for other autoimmune conditions (such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis) and improve outcomes in organ transplantation.

Det doftar halm i luften och julkänslan gör entré. Movember ut, bockember in! ✨🐐 You can smell the straw in the air and the christmas spirit makes its entrance. Movember out, bockember in! ✨🐐

This was the first ever beta cell transplant for type 1 diabetes... with no immunosuppression The cells were edited to avoid immune attack and – to prove the concept – they were transplanted into the patient's forearm, where they started making insulin!

A soprano was singing her 4th encore, "Sempre libera" an opera number that has a tenor part, a young opera student spontaneously joins her in song when he noticed there wasn't anyone else singing it ❤️

Naughty drop bear. 😆😆

Well I'll be damned. I learned something new. At 41. 😑 Kitchen hack 101.

It’s here. The kangapocalypse has dawned. The streets are theirs now. And the sack on that big guy!

It's only a pipette if it comes from the Pipette region of France otherwise it's a sparkling sucky tube

This is too cute, watching until the end.🤗

“Oh my god… I have no words.” Listen to the emotional moment this year’s laureate Maria Corina Machado finds out she has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
