NZ pioneer brings cure for diabetes a step closer
By Martin Johnston

Ground-breaking Auckland medical scientist Bob Elliott has devised a revolutionary treatment to prevent Type 1 diabetes.

The experimental treatment has been used only in mice, but it has produced good results. If these continue, trials on people could start within 10 years.
Type 1 diabetes affects about 11,000 New Zealanders. It usually occurs in childhood and leaves sufferers unable to produce insulin - used by
the body to process glucose - and needing regular injections of
synthetic insulin.

It is an auto-immune disease, in which antibodies form and then kill insulin-producing cells

The new approach developed by Professor Elliott and his team at Living Cell Technologies involves injecting cells taken from neonatal piglets and coated with a gel to protect them from the human immune system.
