Post‐partum umbilical cord Wharton Jelly‐derived adult mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMS) hold anti‐inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Human pancreatic islet‐derived progenitor cells (hIDC) may de‐differentiate, and subsequently re‐differentiate into insulin producing cells. The two cell types share common molecules that facilitate their synergistic interaction and possibly crosstalk, likely useful for the cell therapy of type 1 diabetes (T1D).
