"A 25-year-old woman in China is the first person worldwide to have type 1 diabetes reversed through stem cell therapy.

The therapy used the patient’s own cells to create personalized stem cells, which were then used to grow fresh insulin-producing islets.

This breakthrough offers hope for millions with diabetes, potentially eliminating the need for daily insulin injections and reducing complications.

In a groundbreaking medical achievement, a 25-year-old woman in Tianjin, China, has had her type 1 diabetes reversed through a novel stem cell therapy. This marks the first time such a feat has been accomplished globally, offering new hope for millions living with the chronic condition.

The patient, who had been struggling with type 1 diabetes, underwent a pioneering treatment that involved converting her own cells into personalized stem cells. These stem cells were then used to grow fresh clusters of ‘islets,’ the hormone-producing cells in the pancreas responsible for regulating blood sugar levels.

As Nature reports, this therapy’s unique approach of transplanting the newly created islets into the patient’s upper abdomen near her pancreas sets it apart from previous islet transplant methods. This strategic placement allows for easier monitoring via MRI, a significant advantage over traditional liver transplants.

“I can eat sugar now,” the woman said on a call with Nature. After over a year since the transplant, she says, “I enjoy eating everything — especially hotpot.” The woman asked to remain anonymous for privacy reasons.

Experts are astonished at the results, according to Timesnownews. “They’ve completely reversed diabetes in the patient, who was requiring substantial amounts of insulin beforehand,” said Dr. James Shapiro, a transplant surgeon and researcher at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada.

The implications of this breakthrough are far-reaching, as it could potentially revolutionize the way we treat diabetes. By using a patient’s own cells to create personalized stem cells, this therapy bypasses the limitations of donor islet shortages and the need for immunosuppressive drugs, which have hindered the success of conventional transplant methods.

‘If this is applicable to other patients, it’s going to be wonderful,’ diabetes researcher Daisuke Yabe of Japan’s Kyoto University told reporters via Daily Mail.

As the world watches closely, the success of this case sparks hope for the millions of individuals living with type 1 diabetes. It represents a significant step forward in regenerative medicine and paves the way for further research and development in the field."

Aroace Sonic pt 11

I have FeelingsTM about these cotton-candy colored friends

1. Behold! The line! When it comes to forms of physical affection Sonic is chill with a lot of stuff, but the last thing he ever wants to do is truly hurt his friends so you best beleive he gets serious in putting some things in the off-limits box for their sake. (And after that line is established he's back to teasing and being a little self-absorbed like nothing happened. Moving past it so they don't have time to feel embarrassed.)

2. Amy's begrudging about it, but he hit the nail on the head. She's a little embarrassed he read her so easily but she's not exactly surprised. (She is crushing on this guy for a reason and it's not just cause he's cool.)

3. Whether or not Sonic really kissed Rouge or if it was just the angle is still up for debate but that didn't matter here. What matters is Amy's reaction to thinking he did. He could have easily said that's not what happened but that wouldn't have addressed the real issue. So instead of exactly confirming or denying he goes right for the actual problem. He does this type of thing a lot, letting people assume certain things about him so he can get to the root of the issue. As he says, he's fine with being the bad guy sometimes. (Not that he's being bad here but y'know what I mean he's okay with conflict.)

convincing someone who’s not sure they’re worthy of affection that you truly, utterly love them is the eighth wonder of the world

☯ YIN-YANG TWINS ☯

This thought came about from doing more research on Krillin's spiritual power-up in DBS & I looked at art of No. 17 & No. 18 made by Toriyama.

In the manga & anime, 17 has black hair, but Toriyama gives 18 white hair/platinum blonde hair in the manga.

Then, my mind gets to thinking...

Identical twins 👥 (meaning they came from the same egg)

Male & female ♂️♀️

Black & white ⚫⚪

Yin and Yang ☯

So, now let's examine the cyborg twins and their artificial connections to yin-yang

Artificial Human No. 17 ⚫

Yin is associated with negative, dark, passivity, feminine, earth, the tiger, & the color orange.

NEGATIVE: No. 17 is more mischievous & expresses negativity more than his twin.

DARK: No. 17 has dark hair & his skin tone is slightly darker than 18's in the manga.

PASSIVITY: No. 17 took his time and made detours on his journey to Goku so that 16 could complete his directive.

FEMININE: No. 17 has a "feminine" appearance to him.

EARTH: No. 17 was on the Earth when he was revived at the end of the Cell Saga & he later became a park ranger looking after nature.

THE TIGER: The closest connection I can think of to a tiger for No. 17 is he has orange & black clothing that he first appeared in. However, him becoming a park ranger as he looks over & protects animals, he is a "king of the beasts" in a way similar to the tiger representing that due to the pattern on the tiger's forehead resembling the Chinese symbol for king 王. The tiger also represents protection and No. 17 protects the animals of the island.

ORANGE: No. 17 wore an orange bandana around his neck in DBZ (red sometimes in the manga) & an orange arm sleeve in DBS.

Artificial Human No. 18 ⚪

Yang is associated with positive, bright, activity, masculine, heaven, the dragon, & the color azure.

POSITIVE: No. 18 shows more compassion than her twin who is less expressive in a positive way.

BRIGHT: No. 18 has white hair (in Toriyama's art) & her skin tone is lighter than No. 17's in the manga ('bout the same color in the anime).

ACTIVITY: No. 18 wanted to go straight to where Goku was so that No. 16 could hurry up & be free of his directive.

MASCULINE: No. 18 is a tomboy.

HEAVEN: No. 18 was up on Kami's Sanctuary in the sky/heaven at the end of the Cell Saga.

THE DRAGON: No. 18 saw Shenron at the end of the Cell Saga & even returned to Kami's Sanctuary to observe further.

AZURE: No. 18 was wearing mostly blue during her introduction.

To Conclude... ☯

From what I can tell, it appears likely that Lapis & Lazuli are twins made into cyborgs by Dr. Gero who took inspiration from the Chinese philosophy of Yin & Yang ergo Taiji/Tai-chi.

Their introduction outfits also have black & white shirts. 18's shirt has more white while 17's shirt has more black. Might be another Yin & Yang thing too (maybe). 18's debut outfit actually has a more black than white, but a lot of blue covering the black (but Yin/black represents the feminine so, maybe that was intentional).

However, 18's 3rd outfit has a white shirt + a small black jacket which reflects the Yang side more. (Her 4th & 5th outfits do well with the Yang color balance too.)

And in DBS, 17 & 18 dress more freely & break the color symbolism of Yin & Yang.

BONUS

What's also pretty interesting is that Gero studied ki/chi & artificially recreated the concept of tai-chi/taiji (which is both a philosophy & martial art) by creating Cell with the capability to absorb 17 & 18 (who have perpetual/infinite energy).

17 & 18 represent Yin & Yang (which represents a perpetual cycle of energy) so, Cell needed them in order to achieve his "Great Ultimate" form (taiji/tai-chi) which Cell calls his Perfect Form.

They were planned to be used as components for Cell from the time that Gero turned them into cyborgs.

So, yeah... 17 & 18 are the yin-yang twins
