Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transfusion Ameliorated Hyperglycemia in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

UMSC transfusion is safe and well tolerated, effectively alleviates blood glucose, and increases the generation of C-peptide levels and Tregs in a subgroup of T2DM patients. This pilot study provides fundamental data for further study of UMSC transfusion on control of blood glucose as well as morbidity of T2DM in a larger cohort.
