Diabetes cloak Microscopy (IMAGE)
Caption
The top row of photos, taken with a scanning electron microscope, shows uncoated cell clusters (islets), with a 50-micrometer, or 0.05 millimeter, scale bar for reference. The bottom row showcases a series of islets covered in a thin film that acts as an “invisibility cloak,” hiding the donor cells from the body’s immune response and potentially offering researchers a novel approach to treating diabetes.
