Additional Research:
Development of insulin gene therapy as a treatment for diabetes mellitus, investigations into hepatocellular effects of ectopic insulin production, and transdifferentiation of autologous somatic cells to produce regulated insulin secretion. Viral vectors using a metabolically regulated, hepatic specific promoter to express human insulin normalizes blood sugars in diabetic animals.
