Preventing and curing evidence review — 16 September 2026

  • Disposition: corrected/updated. Current item lastReviewed: 2026-09-16.
  • Claim check: The published CiPSC recipient achieved insulin independence while already immunosuppressed; registry endpoints are not results. Removed the false claim that Sana treated the only human ever to carry an insulin-producing graft without drugs. Autologous origin does not establish protection from recurrent autoimmunity.
