"A patient with type 1 diabetes has become the first in the world to produce his own insulin via transplanted cells edited with CRISPR.
The edits halted his own immune system from attacking the cells, leading to production of insulin in the pancreas as if he never had the disease in the first place.
Unlike the rampant type 2 diabetes, type 1 manifests as an autoimmune disorder whereby the patient’s immune system attacks and destroys a type of cell created in the pancreas to produce insulin, known as islet cells. 9.5 million people worldwide suffer from type 1 diabetes and there is no cure."

Three changes in total to the genetic code were needed to ensure the transplanted donor cells didn't trigger an immune response.

Now hopefully TPTB will let it come to market to actually help people.

As in most technologies, this can likely be used both for good and for evil. May God sovereignly cause it to be used for good.
