Its already fact that adult stem cells lines exist. This is potentially another menthod.
VODG has generated over 30 adult human stem cell lines that derived from pancreatic tissue. They are creating islets from these stem cells. They have now generated over 30 adult human stem cell lines that derived from pancreatic tissues In their laboratory. http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/070626/0270799.html
Here is the best part. VODG still “expects” to be the "first" company in the world to commercialize these Islets/ stem cell line products for use in drug development & discovery, 2) develop and commercialize products to treat animal diabetes and 3) develop and commercialize a stem cell-based treatment of human diabetes .
They appear rapidly moving towards that goal. A manufacturing facility is been being built to suit since September and is expected to be done by spring http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/070925/0306257.html
