TFA claims the stem cells were administered into the abdominal muscles, which may reduce the "significant risk of stem cell transplant" compared to direct injection into the liver.
The point of stem cell treatments is to replace cells that are no longer there doing their job. It's not too relevant for the replaced cells to be in the same spot, as long as they exist and produce insulin, you are good to go.
You could argue for the location having physiological implications, for instance: it's convenient for the liver to be right after the intestines (connected through the portal vein), like this, it metabolizes large amounts of whatever is absorbed intestinally at once, before it reaches systemic circulation.
This may hold true for the pancreas as well. It uses duodenal glucose concentrations to know exactly how much insulin to release, which may not be representative of the rest body's glucose concentrations.
Practically speaking, it is far safer to inject stem cells in the abdomen where you have room for erscqror and can do surgery on without much trouble vs the pancreas, if anything goes wrong there, you could easily kill a patient.
Stem cells are pretty good at moving around. If they don't want to stay in the pancreas, you won't be able to make them, and if they want to go to the pancreas, they will find their way there even if transplanted in a less invasive way.
Can vouch for this. It’s the first non-Google search alternative I’ve used that has 100% replaced Google. I don’t need Google as a fallback like I did with others.
Ah, you mean the web version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinkers_(horse_tack) . I don't think that helps when you're stopped in your tracks by an upsell. Dominos won't let you order a pizza online until you've declined garlic bread, cinnamon rolls and a liter of pepsi three times. And you can't just click "pepperoni pizza near me", you have to build your pepperoni pizza, after putting in your zip code, selecting the store, carry out, then click build again, sure you don't want buffalo wings too?, ....
I'm not going to make any assertions as to who is right, but some of the assertions in this reddit post conflict with the data from the other articles.
> there are no photos or eyewitness accounts.
The other resources provide satellite images of excavations and eyewitness accounts from Ukrainian hunters and biologists.
Anyway. Do your own research, come to your own conclusions.
Recently there's been a uptake in free procedural construction games like Townscaper.
There's Tiny Glade and SUMMERHOUSE that have attracted some attention on Steam.
The "stepping through the algorithm" is done by way of a generator; I simply "yield" after each interesting bit of progress.
