Totipotent stem cells from embryos can be used to replace pancreatic cells, offering an unlimited supply of beta cells, a lower chance of rejection, and eliminating the need for insulin injections.
Células-tronco totipotentes de embriões podem ser usadas para substituir células pancreáticas, oferecendo um suprimento ilimitado de células beta, menor risco de rejeição e eliminação da necessidade de injeções de insulina.

| Back | totipotent stem cells can be extracted from early embryos (which become destroyed, but are spares from fertlity treatments so wouldnt form humans anyways), advantages include; - forms unlimited supply of beta cells - less chance of rejection - no more insulin injections required |
