        Who said anything about how it looks?

        Shanghai is a global financial center, ranking third in Asia and eighth globally on the Global Financial Centres Index.[139] Shanghai is also a large hub of the Chinese and global technology industry and home to a large startup ecosystem. As of 2021, the city was ranked as the 2nd Fintech powerhouse in the world after New York City.[140]

        As of 2019, the Shanghai Stock Exchange had a market capitalization of US$4.02 trillion, making it the largest stock exchange in China and the fourth-largest stock exchange in the world.[141] In 2009, the trading volume of six key commodities—including rubber, copper, and zinc—on the Shanghai Futures Exchange all ranked first globally.[142] By the end of 2017, Shanghai had 1,491 financial institutions, of which 251 were foreign-invested.

        Shanghai is about as communist as Wall Street. It should look nice, they certainly have the money for it.

      I know where the State Capitalist Chinese Dictatorship is, but yeah, can’t find the Communist one.

      Hell, they aren’t even fully State Capitalist anymore, they have billionaires.

      Still, if this is true, and widely available, it could be one of the handful of good things done by a bad government. Hell, even if the methods are released for others to improve on, it would be a boon for the world.

      There are close to 2 million children with type 1 diabetes worldwide. And I guess there are like 8 million adults, whatever. Cure the kids, let them not die when someone hands them a candy bar.

      That is, if this works. Type 1 is usually an autoimmune disease. Do doctors first need to cure the autoimmune disease and then give this treatment? If so, then this is just another temporary treatment for now. Possibly in the range of days if the immune response is particularly aggressive.

        This was a single case involving type 2 diabetes. Type 1 would need to be approached differently because it can’t be cured by fixing the pancreas. If this therapy does work, perhaps it would still be a boon for T1 patients as a treatment rather than a cure.
