Abstract

Prevalence of type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents rises in decades of years. Medication could keep the serum level of glucose in a reasonable range rather than cure the disease. Transplantation, mainly islet transplantation, stem cell transplantation and pancreas transplantation, has attracted more attention for the possibility of curing type 1 diabetes. Rejection, islet inflammation and apoptosis hinder a successful transplantation, which may be relieved by carbon monoxide or regulatory T cell therapies. Most of studies about transplantation treatment for type 1 diabetes were on animals or adults, with few on children and adolescents. Furthermore, fecal microbiota transplantation could halt progression of human new-onset type 1 diabetes, which could be an adjuvant therapy in future days.
