Research Progress and Prospects of Stem Cell Transgene Therapy for Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic disease that affect human's healthy a lot.Traditional treatment methods ,like the injection of insulin,can not cure this disease completely,and affect the life quanlity of patients. However, stem cells, which have the ability to renew themselves and turn into different types of cells, provide a new way for treating diabetes. Transgene technology's development increases the probability of stem cells turn into the right cells and make sure they have correct functions , increase the successful probability of cell therapy plans. This paper looks at the research background, common stem cell types, and transgene strategies of stem cell transgene therapy for diabetes in a systematic way, analyzes the key progress, technical problems, and difficults meeting to using this therapy in clinics, and talks about future development directions. It aims to give references for more needed students in this field.
