Doctors in China have used lab-grown insulin-producing cells to treat a woman with type 1 diabetes. The cells were made from her own tissue, reprogrammed into stem cells, and then grown into tiny clusters that release insulin. A year after the transplant, her blood sugar remains normal without medication. It’s the first time in history that a person with type 1 diabetes has been freed from insulin injections using cells made from their own body. https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(24)01022-5?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Apparently about 10% of Gazans have an eSIM through this org. Gaza is very thin (about 6-12 km wide) and has very long land borders so it's within range of multiple towers in neighbouring countries.
eSIMs don't require a physical SIM card, and phones are low power devices that can be charged through solar panels etc even when there is no mains power.
