Curing type 1 diabetes might be accomplished with an unlimited β-cell source, perhaps from stem cells, to make islet transplantation more generally feasible.
In England, more than 1 in 10 of deaths of individuals in their 40s are linked to liver disease. 2 Comorbidities, the underlying causes of liver disease and limited donor organ supplies make liver transplantation unavailable for a large number of patients.
