Diabetic stem cell therapy and nanomedicine: advancements in treating diabetes

J Diabetes Metab Disord. 2023 Sep 24;22(2):1805-1807. doi: 10.1007/s40200-023-01300-7. eCollection 2023 Dec.

Abstract

Objectives: In recent years, significant advancements have been made in the field of medical sciences, particularly in the treatment of diabetes using innovative methods. Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder considered by elevated blood glucose levels, disturbs millions of people worldwide.

Methods: Conventional treatments for diabetes have shown limited success in providing long-term solutions, leading researchers to explore alternative therapies such as diabetic stem cell therapy and nanomedicine. In this article, we delve into the promising potential of these cutting-edge treatments and their impact on diabetes management.

Results: Several achievements have been obtained to treat diabetes type I by merging nanomedicine and cell therapy such as insulin-loaded exosomes and nanoparticles loaded with different drugs. For instance, by engineering exosomes with specific nanocarriers, researchers can precisely deliver some molecules to target cells, promoting tissue repair and regeneration.

Conclusions: It seems that using nanomedicine and cell therapy, we can explore the inventive way for a future somewhere diabetes is no longer a problem for millions, and people can hold a great quality life.
