It could come to pass that stem cell therapies leapfrog over encapsulated islets before the encapsulation technique ever develops much traction (given the difficulties of obtaining islet cells to encapsulate). These mice were only a model though - if they don't possess islet cell antibodies (as a Type I diabetic presumably would) they may have been spared the islet destruction that would have occured in a human without some form of immunosupresion or encapsulation.
