The procedure used the patient’s own blood-derived stem cells, converted into functional β‑cell–containing islets, and transplanted in July 2021  . Within 11 weeks, the patient became insulin‑independent, and roughly a year later had also stopped all oral diabetes medications  . Follow‑up data up to 33 months post-transplant showed sustained restored pancreatic function  . ⚠️ What’s still uncertain: This breakthrough has been reported in only one person so far  —far too early to call it a cure applicable to the broader diabetic population. It’s published in the scientific journal Cell Discovery, a well-regarded peer-reviewed platform  . These are early-stage r...

Whether you’re a busy entrepreneur, content creator, or just someone trying to simplify tasks, AI can be a powerful assistant. But like any tool, it works best when you know how to use it. Here are ten practical tips to help you use AI more effectively and responsibly. 1. 🎯 Start With a Clear Purpose Before diving into any AI platform, ask yourself: What do I need help with? Whether it’s writing an email, summarizing an article, generating social media captions, or editing photos — starting with a clear goal helps guide your interaction. 2. 🗣 Ask Better Questions (aka Prompts) The better your question or prompt, the better the answer.
