Follow on Google News | Diabetes Stem Cell Therapy: A Chance for Insulin Independence and the Reversal of ComplicationsCellonis, a Beijing HK based biotech company, with its new personalized diabetes treatment has demonstrated in the best case that it could reconstruct a patient's natural insulin production and even reverse later complications in a clinical study.
By: Rebecca Chen "Most of the patients in our clinical study are now taking less synthetic insulin or oral drugs for BG control," says Dr. Chase Dai, Chief Medical Officer at Cellonis. "We appear to have restored the biological insulin producing function of the body. We are excited to see that some patients have been treatment-free for five months now, and we believe the effect of the stem cell therapy can last much longer. We were also encouraged by some other happy surprises during the clinical study. "For example, this therapy appears to reverse chronic kidney failure. It was a surprise for all of my team to observe that the kidney function of a 75-year-old patient improved remarkably." This patient had suffered from diabetes for years, gradually developing diabetic foot and nephropathy. He can now walk freely after having been confined to bed or a wheelchair for six months, and his quality of life has improved significantly. Moreover, he only needs kidney dialysis one time a week instead of three times. In a follow-up visit he excitedly told us that he was hopeful that in the near future he could be completely rid of diabetes. A 19-year-old boy, diagnosed as T1DM five years ago, received his first Diabetes Stem Cell Cocktail in December 2010. He said: “I am physically recovered and mentally improved markedly. My blood sugar is very stable, around 5 mmol/L. and i even don’t need insulin injections anymore. This insulin-independent condition is a dream and I always had and now it comes true. Diabetes, an increasingly spreading disease, can lead to life-threatening diseases such as blindness, amputation, strokes, or kidney failure in its natural course. Current treatments, including insulin, cannot change this situation. "We believe that our stem cell therapy will bring promising hope for patients suffering from diabetes and its complications," Cellonis Biotechnologies focuses on R&D and the clinical application of novel personalized stem cell therapies and immunotherapies for patients with diseases including cancer, diabetes and central nervous system disorders. Cellonis Clinical Research Center registrated two clinical researches regarding stem cell therapy for Diabetes T1DM and T2DM to U.S National Institutes of Health. http://clinicaltrials.gov/ Contact: Email: urs.lienert@ Web: http://www.cellonis.com SOURCE Cellonis Biotechnologies Co.,Ltd. /CONTACT: Urs.
