Stem cell therapy for diabetes

It's for dogs, so that means someone will be doing it with cats sooner or later.

Clinical Trial for Diabetic Dogs
VSH is participating in an exciting new clinical trial using a novel stem cell therapy to resolve diabetes mellitus in dogs! Dogs must weigh 5 to 12 kg, and be free of significant other systemic illnesses, on insulin (preferably Vetsulin), and at least partially controlled. Owners must be willing to perform glucose curves at home (with training), and to reliably bring the dog in for follow-up visits over 3 years. All study-associated costs are covered for the study duration (labs, procedures, insulin, glucometer, exams, etc.), including the initial screening visit, so we encourage any potential candidates to come in for formal screening with Drs. Loy Son, Gil, Dong, or Fischer.
