“Beta cell formation in vivo through cellular networking, integration and processing (CNIP) in wild type adult mice”
Drs. Ralph Defronzo and Bruno Doiron have published research on a novel approach to cure T1 diabetes by using a virus to inject genetic instructions to pancreatic cells in diabetic rats to begin producing insulin. These cells are not originally tasked with insulin production, but the genetic material injected via virus causes them to take on the additional task of insulin production. They have had success in these rats, and are gearing up for further animal trials. Human trials are not expected to begin for at least three years.

UPDATE!
Bruno Doiron has organized a new company, Syner-III, to develop this new revolutionary pathway to a cure. He is seeking $10 million in funding for preclinical trials.
The only mention I could find was in this poorly written article.
With all I’ve read about research for a cure, this is the horse I would be betting on.
