NHS starts 'stem cell factory' for diabetes

The NHS is setting up a stem cell factory in Liverpool to treat people with diabetes.

NHS Blood and Transplant wants to make and give the experimental therapy to patients at high risk of developing diabetes-related kidney problems.

It is hoped the injections will slow down or stop tissue damage, removing the need for dialysis or transplants
