A cure for diabetes is just a few years away, according to a group of Israeli scientists and researchers.
Betalin Therapeutics has developed what it calls “the world’s first Engineered Micro Pancreas (EMP),” using pig-lung tissue and insulin-secreting cells. The company aims to replace insulin-therapy by providing the body with a natural way to measure and regulate blood-sugar levels.
Animal trials have already been completed. Human trials are expected to begin next year.
Betalin Therapeutics Dr. Nikolai Kunicher told the Jerusalem Post that “today, you only have ways to manage the disease. This is a cure. The diabetic pancreas has lost the function of secreting insulin and we give it back. The patient should never have to inject insulin into his body again.”

A massive settlement to resolve claims against MGM Resorts stemming from the October 2017 Las Vegas massacre is expected to be announced Thursday, people briefed on the plans told ABC News.

Cory Booker’s campaign announced Tuesday that it raised $6 million in the third quarter of 2019, making this the best fundraising period yet for the New Jersey senator. The haul comes after his campaign implied last month that a fundraising shortfall would force Booker from the race.
On September 21, Booker’s campaign announced it needed to raise $1.7 million in the last ten days of the filing period in order to stay competitive and expand operations. At the time, Booker’s campaign manager, Addisu Demissie, told reporters that Booker would have no choice but to exit the race should they not reach their fundraising needs.

A New York City law has new guidance that states the use of the term “illegal alien” to “demean, humiliate or harass a person” is illegal, according to the New York City Commission on Human Rights.
The guidance “defines discrimination on the basis of perceived or actual immigration status and national origin under the New York City Human Rights Law in public accommodations, employment and housing.” It also includes the term “illegals.”
The guidance, announced Sept. 25, also states “harassing or discriminating against someone for their use of another language or their limited English proficiency, and threatening to call ICE on a person based on a discriminatory motive, are considered to be in violation” of the New York City Human Rights Law.
