When the immune system fights the cells in the pancreas that are responsible for insulin production, this generates type 1 diabeteswhere you only have one medical treatment, injected insulin. Although, with insulin it helps to treating autoimmune diseaseThere is no cure, and in the future, diabetes could lead to serious problems: eye, skin and ulcer complications, high blood pressure and cholesterol, and kidney failure.

A study by a group of scientists at the National Center for Biotechnology has demonstrated a way to prevent the immune system from attacking the immune system. pancreatic cells.

Using a scientific model working on mice, they have reached very encouraging conclusions: growth hormone, used by doctors since the middle of the last century to treat deficiency in children and young people, delays the development of type 1 diabetes.

With the help of researchers from the Complutense University of Madrid, they have found that growth hormone improves the proliferation of pancreatic islets, promotes their integrity and has effects on the immune system, promoting the assistance of anti-inflammatory macrophages and, in addition, preserves the activity of the T lymphocyte population responsible for reducing the immune response.

Treatments for diseases caused by the immune system

We carry out a whole battery of tests, which depend on what the patient tells us in a complete clinical history and which we alone decide, although in general, the scheme of work is, as in any chronic pathology, to look for causes and causal factors.

At Biosalud we have extensive experience and great results in treating autoimmune diseases using the techniques offered by biological medicine.
