To cure type-1 diabetes, researchers have found a technique of transplanting insulin-producing pancreatic cells. 

In diabetic patients, pancreatic beta cells are destroyed, which damages the body’s immune system. Heart disease, blindness, kidney disease and premature death can also occur because of Type 1 diabetes. It can also appear during childhood or adolescence. 

Cell transplantation therapy is limited. In this case, the recipients require powerful immunosuppressant medications which often raise the risk of infection and toxic side effects. 

A professor of pediatrics and of microbiology and immunology at Einstein, Dr. Harris Goldstein said, “Ultimately, even with immunosuppressive therapy, most of these individuals end up rejecting the transplanted cells.” 

In study, Dr. Goldstein and his colleagues have found a way to make foreign beta cells invisible to a transplant recipient's immune system which dramatically protecting them from rejection of the transplanted cells. 

Type 1 diabetes patient needs to take insulin injections daily for whole life. A cellular transplantation, in which beta cells are harvested from cadavers and injected into the bloodstream of diabetes patients, these cells replace the destroyed pancreatic beta cells of recipients. 

This is an alternative to insulin injections. With these transplants Type-1 diabetes can be controlled but patient should take immunosuppressant medications to prevent rejection of these beta foreign cells, according to the statement of Research Team.
