Researchers Turn from Drugs to Mini Organs for Diabetes Cure, According to Yasmin Malhotra
Date:3/11/2013

New York, New York (PRWEB) March 11, 2013

Yasmin Malhotra, a writer who has studied the pharmaceutical industry in great detail, is ecstatic to share the news that Diabetes Research Institute, or DRI, may have a cure for Type 1 diabetes in its sights. According to an article published by the Huffington Post, DRI, which is part of the University of Miami, has designed the DRI BioHub. This medical device, which was coined a "mini organ," may allow researchers to cure Type 1 diabetes in just five to seven years, according to the article.

Dr. Camillo Ricordi, who is the scientific director and chief academic officer of DRI, asserts: "It [the DRI BioHub] will mimic the insulin function of a normal pancreas. It will restore natural insulin production for any patient, no matter how long they've had diabetes."

While many members of the general public may have assumed that the cure for diabetes would come in the form of a pharmaceutical drug, the researchers at DRI have pinpointed an alternative method to addressing this condition. The article explains: "The BioHub is an engineered 'mini organ' that will house insulin-producing (islet) cells that, like normally functioning islet cells, sense blood sugar and release the precise amount of insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels."

If the device is successfully, it means that individuals who suffer from Type 1 diabetes (and, the article asserts, possibly other forms of the disease) can cure the condition with the use of the BioHub. According to the article, the reason why this breakthrough has finally taken place is due to the technological advances that have provided the tools researchers needed to make it happen.
