The type 1 diabetes mellitus is one of medical condition likely to benefit from stem cells therapy as insulin-secreting pancreatic beta cells derived from stem cells could be transplanted into the patients and help maintain blood glucose homeostasis. The key to stem cell is the ability to generate large numbers of differentiated cells.
