Experimental stem cell treatment has allowed some Type 1 diabetes patients to stop insulin injections. A study showed 10 of 12 patients remained insulin-free for at least a year after a single dose of manufactured stem cells.

The stem cells, grown to become pancreatic cells, were infused into the liver. Patients require immunosuppressant drugs to prevent rejection, which poses risks, but the initial results are promising in managing blood sugar.

The study continues with 50 patients. While the long-term effects are unknown, this development offers a potential limitless cell source, contrasting with limitations of donor cells.

The United States has joined Israel's military campaign against Iran, with President Trump announcing strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites. This direct involvement escalates the conflict and raises the risk of a wider regional war.

The U.S. action follows over a week of Israeli attacks targeting Iran's air defenses and nuclear facilities. Trump stated the U.S. used stealth bombers and bunker-buster bombs to target heavily fortified sites.

Iran has vowed retaliation, and the Houthis in Yemen threaten attacks on U.S. vessels.
