Regenerative Therapy Research for Type 2 Diabetes

Exploring regenerative approaches to support pancreatic beta-cell function

Stem Cell Therapy

What is Stem Cell Therapy for Diabetes?

With more than 420 million people living with type 2 diabetes worldwide, stem cell research is opening new possibilities for selected patients. Unlike standard medication-centered approaches, investigational stem cell therapies aim to support pancreatic function and improve metabolic control in carefully evaluated cases.

Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) are the primary cell type used in clinical applications. These cells can differentiate into insulin-producing beta cells, rebuild insulin secretion function, and improve the pancreatic microenvironment through paracrine signaling.

Therapeutic Benefits

Stem cell research is being studied for selected type 2 diabetes care pathways

Beta-Cell Function Support

Stem cell-based approaches are being studied for their potential to support beta-cell function and protect remaining pancreatic activity.

Improve Insulin Resistance

Regulate chronic inflammatory microenvironment, reduce inflammatory factors, and inhibit autoimmune attacks on pancreatic islets.

Reduce Complications

Simultaneously improve fatty liver, dyslipidemia, and vascular lesions, significantly reducing risk of kidney disease and retinopathy.

High Safety Profile

UC-MSCs from newborn umbilical cords have minimal immunogenicity with no serious adverse events reported globally.
