If one of your organs is not working, why not just make a new one? Well, that is what some researchers are trying to do for type 1 diabetes patients, even if the task is easier said than done.

Sometimes, researchers will do a study on animals and think they have found a way to stop a disease. Then that finding simply won't translate to humans. This happened recently with a type 1 diabetes vaccine.

Finding a cure for a disease like diabetes is like the Holy Grail to researchers. But cures are not found overnight, they are discovered after decades of study.
