Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Infusion for Initial Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether umbilical cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells of treatment for initial type 1 diabetes is safe and effective.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM)is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic β cells.Patients require multiple daily insulin injections throughout their lives as well as close monitoring of their diet and blood sugar levels to prevent complications. The investigators hope umbilical cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells could not only address the need for β-cell replacement but also control of the autoimmune response to β cells.
