I keep an eye on these types of treatments. Type 1 diabetes being autoimmune and all.

So far, I'm putting it in the bucket with all the other "cure is just 5 years away" things we hear about.

It's promising, and neat it's worked in these cases, but I remain skeptical. Twice over as it appears to be research from China, who doesn't have the best track record for robust scientific integrity. We'll see how repeatable this stuff is soon enough.
