A potential cure for type 1 diabetes has been identified by scientists in a new mouse study.

In an animal study, researchers at Stanford School of Medicine discovered that resetting the immune system in diabetic mice and creating new insulin-making cells reversed the disease in 100% of cases, according to a Stanford press release.

The researchers took a group of 19 pre-diabetic mice and gave them a non-toxic “conditioning” treatment that included low levels of radiation and special antibodies that reduce certain immune cells called T-cells, according to the study release.

The goal was to make the mice’s immune systems less reactive so that the scientists could test new therapies more effectively.

The mice then received stem cell transplantation using the bone marrow cells of other m
