UC-MSC Research for Type 2 Diabetes

Overview

Umbilical-cord mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) are being studied for possible immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and metabolic effects.

Early studies have reported possible changes in HbA1c, insulin requirements or beta-cell function in some participants, but protocols and sample sizes vary. Evidence does not show that UC-MSCs cure type 2 diabetes or replace standard care.

What research is examining

Metabolic and inflammatory markers
Insulin requirement and glucose control
Safety, dose and treatment schedule
Durability of any observed change

Information useful for research screening

HbA1c, fasting glucose and C-peptide from the last six months
Current insulin and oral medicines
Diabetes duration and weight history
Heart, kidney, eye and neurologic complications

How to verify a study

Confirm the trial registration number
Confirm the lead institution and ethics approval
Check actual recruitment status
Review inclusion and exclusion criteria
Read informed-consent and participant-protection information
Do not stop standard treatment because of an enquiry

Commercial price

No legitimate standard treatment price

This intervention remains investigational. The service offered here is research-information and eligibility-enquiry support, not a commercial treatment booking. Participation and any permitted costs are governed by the registered protocol and institution.

Important safeguards

UC-MSC treatment and stem-cell-derived exosome products are not the same intervention.
Do not rely on claims of a guaranteed cure or discontinue proven diabetes treatment.
A legitimate study requires registration, ethics review, informed consent and participant protection.

How Meridian Care can help

✓ Help identify and verify registered studies
✓ Clarify published inclusion criteria and recruitment information
✓ Organize non-sensitive information for an initial enquiry
✓ Coordinate communication only after the research institution confirms a legitimate pathway
