Gene therapy was used to cure type 1 diabetes in dogs.
« on: May 06, 2015, 01:53:23 PM »

Five beagles were cured of their canine type 1 diabetes using gene therapy — a process by which the patient is inserted with DNA that produces a therapeutic protein to treat a disease. Four years after the treatment the dogs still had no symptoms of diabetes. The researchers hope to test the therapy in humans soon.
