A consensus or society position rather than new primary data.
This is a narrative literature review that summarizes clinical development, technical principles, and experimental results of various cell therapy approaches for diabetes mellitus. It does not present primary evidence, randomized trial data, or quantified efficacy outcomes, but rather provides a reference framework comparing advantages and disadvantages of different methods and identifying future development trends.

Cell-based therapy can substitute for islet function and achieve long-term glycemic regulation, in contrast to current pharmacological and insulin replacement therapies which control blood glucose but cannot repair pancreatic islet β-cell functional defects or cure the disease.
No quantified efficacy, safety, or comparative outcome data are provided.

This review provides a synthesis of the field rather than actionable clinical evidence. Clinicians and researchers should consult it for an overview of cell therapy landscape and future directions, but should refer to primary trials for efficacy and safety data to guide clinical decisions.

What is missing. This record has no reported figures. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
With the rising global prevalence of obesity and population aging, the number of patients with diabetes mellitus, a common chronic metabolic disorder, keeps rising and imposes mounting pressure on clinical medical services. Although current pharmacological interventions and insulin replacement therapy can effectively control blood glucose levels, they cannot fundamentally repair the functional defects of pancreatic islet β-cells, nor can they cure the disease. Under these circumstances, cell-based therapy has gradually become a research hotspot in the field of biomedical science in recent years, as it can substitute for islet function and thereby achieve long-term glycemic regulation. This article summarizes the clinical development, technical principles, and experimental results of various approaches, and compares the advantages and disadvantages of different methods. Meanwhile, this paper discusses the shortcomings of cell therapy at the present stage. On this basis, the future development trends of diabetes cell therapy are predicted, providing a reference for subsequent research and clinical translation.
