This would be a great q for Joe, or better yet Altucell's CEO Gary Harlem.

One difference is, this isn't a brand new drug being researched. They have animal studies and human data for the process already:


Altucell is focused on combining its patented Altustem stem cells with its patented, proprietary delivery system Altucap, a microencapsulation process designed to protect cells from the autoimmune system. In T1D, our strategy protects Altustem from the patient’s immune system and allows these stem cells to function as they do in non-diabetic individuals.
This approach holds promise to address chronic conditions, such as T1D, where, pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by the immune system, leading to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and long-term complications. In T1D there are defective t-cells; the stem cells transplanted into the body repairs these diseased, malfunctioning t-cells, restoring the body’s ability to produce insulin. The process is one of remodulating and regenerating normal functionality.
