Summary
In this episode, EASD tv host Vivienne Parry speaks with Prof. Daisuke Yabe (Kyoto University) about the growing global impact of EASD and the importance of international collaboration in diabetes research. Prof. Yabe explains the key differences between diabetes phenotypes in Europe and East Asia, highlighting how obesity, insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction vary across populations. He discusses how sharing these perspectives is driving better research, stronger international partnerships and improved diabetes care worldwide. The conversation also explores one of the most exciting developments in regenerative medicine: iPS cell-derived islet transplantation. Professor Yabe shares how clinical trials in Japan are addressing donor shortages using induced pluripotent stem cells and discusses the progress being made towards more scalable cell therapies for people living with type 1 diabetes.
