As I read about stem cell technology as a remedy for treating/curing diabetes.
This is a major scientific breakthrough in regrowing the islets of Langerhans cells that produce insulin in the pancreas.
The organ is a delicately multifaceted organ that produces even important digestive juices. Pancreatic cancer, with a 99 out of 100 rapid death rate, has hope with this groundbreaking stem cell technology.
Type one is most serious, as the insulin-producing cells are destroyed by some autoimmune disorder, usually genetically inherited.
Type 2 is less complex as this one can be cured or controlled by lifestyle changes. Type 1 no such luck. For example exercise, diet,losing weight,oral meds etc can handle type 2D.
In all of this I begin to wonder if our top tertiary institutions are content with only top class certification of knowledge regurgitation. What has happened to academic research, findings, and scientific breakthroughs. Also, impactful relevant community outreach programs.
Is there an endemic lack of forward-thinking activist leadership that seemed content with being glorified "intellectual ghettoes," according to the late Wilmot Perkins?
The Caribbean's University of the West Indies (UWI) needs to step up to the new scientific and intellectual order, or is it that AI will be taking over.
I have no doubt tings a gwaan but mek wi hear bout it nuh. Community outreach UWI is an area that needs action.
Being called Doctor this and Professor that, seems to be more about style and fashion.
Where is the objective impactful substance being manifested?.

Very informative quite comprehensive.I never knew before the real differences between type 1 and type 2 Diabetes.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Its great to see that someone is asking about research. 0ften when research is mentioned to practitioners and the public eyes glaze over :))
ReplyDeleteUWI should advertise Research Days (when the public is invited to see current research) more including on this platform.
