Greetings BN.
This is an oversimplification on my part of β-cell regeneration (my apologies, please bear with me):
Insulin secretes β-cells from the pancreas, diabetes destroys these B-cells which results in the demand for insulin, and that's grime news to be quite honest (mortality).
Type 2 diabetes seems to be a bigger threat of losing β-cell volume (40 - 60%) according to one study, (obesity the driving factor).
The stem cell research replaces β-cells by regeneration. There's other protocols being studied as well, see below:
so......seeing that pro-inflammatory states in humans are the driving factors in most illness, I see starting with antioxidants as the first weapon (eliminating free radicals, cause they from the P450scc (cholesterol side-chain cleavage, in enzymes), then add LC-PuFA's (long chained fatty acids). Now, I don't if FAS (fatty acid synthase) or TNF (Tumor necrosis factor) which is another cell signaling protein (cytokine) is involved, though most likely is. In other words, does apoptosis regenerate cell types?, I'm gonna take a leap and say yes. This makes things like WP and EGCG (the Polyphenol in green tea) viable. ......and oh by the way, WP has epigallocatechin-3-gallate, also known as EGCG, the same polyphenol in green tea.
