In diabetes type I, there is a progressive decline of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells, which is caused by the development of immune response directed to autoantigens of pancreatic islets. In advanced diabetes, the patient is completely dependent on exogenous insulin. Therefore, a medical team from Uppsala University Hospital has conducted a clinical trial on the application of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) with the aim of inhibiting progression of diabetes.
