Illustration of beta cell therapy for diabetes. A white blood cell is shown attacking beta cells genetically engineered from stem cells. Unless anti-immune drugs are used, beta cells are subject to attack by the body's immune system. Researchers hope to find a way to encapsulate the cells (left) or make them genetically invisible to the autoimmune system.
