| I read about that and that's pretty cool. I found some more info on it somewhere else and they say some of the monkeys are on no anti-rejection drugs. The biggest problem still is creating islet cells. They say you can only get 1 islet cell from a healthy pancreas. With over 20 million diabetics in the US, that's alot of islet cells needed and you have to hope they aren't rejected.
