LCT investigates possible prevention of Type 1 diabetes
December 14, 2006

Living Cell Technologies (ASX:LCT) announced today that early stage research of its NeurotrophinCell (NtCell) product may hold the potential to prevent or delay the onset of Type I diabetes.

The study involved injecting choroid plexus cells from neo-natal pigs encapsulated in alginate into the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of Type 1 diabetes. The cell product was effective in protecting insulin secreting beta cells and preventing the onset of diabetes.
