[Cell engineering in the treatment of diabetes mellitus: current state and prospectives].

The article is dedicated to the current state and prospectives of cell engineering in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The material is based on the analysis of clinical trials in which cell engineering has been applied for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and its complications. It has been shown that despite the decade of intensive research the clinically significant results have not been achieved yet. At the same time the fast growth of the number of publications in the field testified to intensity of basic and applied research and the large quantity of ongoing clinical trials on the topic make it possible to. look at the prospectives of the employment of cell engineering in the treatment of diabetes mellitus with a certain optimism.
