  • There are two basic types of diabetes, type 1 (autoimmune) diabetes and type 2 (insulin resistance) diabetes. (placidway.com)
  • Another theory is that heavy metals, such as in a vaccine or dental filling, either directly inhibit the ability of the pancreas to produce insulin due to the toxicity of the heavy metal (in this case the beta cells are not destroyed, they are just unable to produce insulin) or there is some type of allergic reaction to the heavy metal.

  • The gene therapy product candidate, PBKR03, utilizes an AAVhu68 viral vector to deliver a functional GALC enzyme gene that codes for galactosylceramidase (GAL-C). The vector will be delivered directly to the cerebrospinal fluid by a single injection to the cisterna magna (ICM injection), with the goal of increasing levels of the GALC enzyme in both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
