This research is also helping scientists to uncover information that makes human organ transplants easier and more accessible, literally giving new life to those whose kidneys, hearts, and lungs are failing. The islets in mice, rats, pigs, and other animals share some similarities with humans, but there are important differences, making monkeys a critical model for developing treatment and prevention methods, and for testing new therapies for people with diabetes. � NHPs shown to naturally develop diabetes, which is the same disease as in humans, thus opening the path to research for new treatments.	./cache/cord-332569-af8oq2d6.txt	./txt/cord-332569-af8oq2d6.txt
