that research certainly sounds promising but i can't see how it could tremendously impact the market. the first hurdle to cross is the pathetically small number of organ donors. transplant docs would need to harvest the intact donor organ and then perform that pancreatic cell liberating procedure. then after infusing them into the patient, the only way to keep the patient from rejecting the newly implanted cells would be to keep the patient immunocompromised for the rest of his life unless they find a better way to do this. the insulin business should thrive for years to come unless something earthshattering is developed. for all the suffering diabetics out there, i hope this happens but for now i think polymedica will continue to grow.
