</FONT><P>
<FONT size="2">The mice, who had type 1 diabetes, started producing their own insulin after taking a mixture of four drugs.
</FONT></P><P>
<FONT size="2">Previously the same team at Harvard University had only been able to stop the destruction of the cells which make insulin, not regenerate them.
</FONT></P><P>
<FONT size="2">But in a study reported in the New Scientist, they say adding another drug to the original cocktail did just that.
</FONT></P><P>
<FONT size="2">They now hope to start trials in humans.
</FONT></P><P>
<FONT size="2">The only way to manage diabetes is through regular injections of insulin and until now, research into a cure has focused on transplanting the pancreatic beta cells which produce the hormone from donors.
</FONT></P><P>
<FONT size="2">However this is complicated - both because of the difficulty in finding a donor and the problems of rejection - so regenerating a person's own cells is seen as far better option.</FONT></P></TD></TR></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4177CC82-1DED-4007-BDEA-95108D02FA33/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
