Where did you read this news? If I am not mistaken these guys are done. Their website has not been updated since late of 2008 and I can't find any updated news on them since the bankrupcy. Other then the fact that I have diabetes was a shareholder and lost my total investment I could care less at this point. Living cell technologies will be the company if any that will bring this therapy to fruition. Ummm… Where did you read this news? If I am not mistaken these guys are done.

Serious immunosuppression is far more lethal than type 1, in my opinion at least. Right now the cons far outweigh the pros of islet transplantation, absolutely.

If your looking for a cure for type 1 diabetes then read about the research Dr. Faustman is conducting, and why islet cell trnsplant is probably doomed to fail. I was almost a candidate for an islet cell transplant, and oupted out. I work in health care and have been able to ask a lot of questions regarding the pros and cons of an islet cell transplant. I believe the cons out weigh the pros. Check the research that is being conducted by Dr. Faustman.

With a market cap of less than 2 million and recent cash infusions of less than 1.5 million you wonder just what type of Phase III clinical trial can possibly be run that could pass muster. This type of cash would have a hard time funding even a Phase I feasibility study let alone large scale clinical trials.

Other than that, though, I am also godless. Yes, this avenue of therapy would be a bit hypocritical of me to pursue, being that I am a vegetarian Buddhist.

What is eating pork if not cruel. But I think I could live with my concious, regardless, if this treatment became a reality. Oh--to go walking for hours on end and never have to test, not to have to wake up in the middle of the night, not to worry about the horrible complications. I guess I’m godless.

If it involves cruelty, I'll keep my type 1, and my conscience, intact. Aside from the fact that I’m quite skeptical of this, I wouldn’t get in line with a “cure” that is cruel to animals.
