new pancreatic
islet cells that make insulin, coaxing the patient's own
islets to regenerate, or treating diabetics early in the disease with immune - suppressing therapies to prevent their body from destroying the rest of their pancreatic
islets.

new islets or merely revived dormant ones; and that they had found no evidence that spleen
cells had converted to beta
cells.
