《Med Post》1982;18(25):58。免疫学家Kevin Lafferty是澳大利亚国立大学移植生物学部门的领导。他说,最近他的小组用产生胰岛素组织的移植治愈了患糖尿病的小鼠。他说,此方法是对过去治疗不好的糖尿病最有希望的治疗方法之一,而且他对以相似的治疗方式用于人类是乐观的。他们的移植实验也可能导致一种预防移植器官排斥的方法,包括心脏和肾脏。 Med Post 1982; 18 (25): 58. Immunologist Kevin Lafferty is the lead of the transplant biology department at Australian National University. He said recently that his team had cured diabetic mice with a transplant of insulin-producing tissue. He said the method is one of the most promising treatments for the poorly-treated diabetes in the past, and he is optimistic about using it for humans in a similar way. Their transplant experiments may also lead to a method of preventing transplant rejection, including the heart and kidneys.
