You know what I was thinking. I'm saying if the beta cell was intially attacked by the Immune system what good would it be to make Beta cells and Inject it into a person? makes perfect sense that it would just get attacked again.
No, but you wouldn't inject stem cells into the pancreas you would inject the specialized artifically made beta cell and that can't reapir the immune system. Even if you do inject stem cells in the pancreas, the cells won't become beta cells because the abilty to do that has been lost.
ah okay. i see what you're saying dimashggal, i'm not sure except that perhaps there was something wrong with the original beta cells and with new ones that are good, the immune system wouldn't attack them.
Well, that's true I guess the beta cells could have been damaged or something I made an assumption that it was the immune system that had a problem. Do you know for sure where the problem comes from because the immunse system can make mistakes and if that's the case I don't think beta cell injection would be sucessful.
I am so amazed that he can talk for so long without drinking a glass of water.

you guys do not have a clue. what about the immunology? in diabetes the patient will continue the autoreactive response. duuhhh
autologous adult stem cells are much more advanced

Can't they take that endoderm+aorta that would make the beta cells and inject them into a diabetic person?

dimashggal, i think eventually, but they're not at that point yet.

because the pancreas is broken and stem cells would repair it giving the immune system no reason to attack it again.

dimashggal, i know that it's the pancreas itself that's defective (diabetes runs in my family) not the immune system

Ok, thanks makes more sense now. I love biology and I'm curious about things like this so thank you for answering my questions =)

dimashqgal you earlier touched on a question i have also been wondering:
Why can't they just make slightly different (ie: disguised) beta cells that the immune system doesn't react to, and inject these instead?

with type 2 diabetes the pancreas(etc) is the problem, however with Type 1 diabetes it is the immune system that is the problem.
This is why to diagnose Type 1 diabetes they test for specific antibodies.
If you inject new beta cells into type 1 diabetics, their immune systems does slowly kill the new cells.

This is very informative. We have some videos about stem cells and stem cell differentiation on our channel here on youtube. great job !
