First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study looks at whether stem cells from taste buds can be turned into cells that produce insulin, which could lead to new treatments for diabetes. Researchers will take tiny tissue samples from the tongues of 250 healthy adults to isolate and grow these stem cells. The goal is to see if these cells can be changed into insulin-secreting cells in the lab.
