The mystery surrounding a mammoth tusk plate discovered in Mal'ta more than 80 years ago remains unsolved when archaeological discoveries are viewed only through historical lenses. It is possible to infer that fertility and pregnancy were already a major topic of discussion at that point when seen from the framework of practical application linked into men's worldview. It is hypothesised that humans formerly memorised and calculated the pregnancy stage using the plate. This might be viewed as the beginning of medical preventative thinking. It was crucial to understand how the pregnancy was progressing in order to schedule the delivery under the best possible circumstances. It appears that the plate helped to count it as exactly as possible about 22.000 years ago.

Multiple factors contribute to the metabolic condition known as diabetes mellitus (DM), which is characterized by recurrent hyperglycemia as a result of inadequate insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. T-lymphocytes aim to destroy beta cells and other similar cells. DM can be successfully treated with pancreatic transplants, Langerhans islets and individual beta cells. Additionally, stem cell therapy for DM treatment is currently popular. The replacement of beta cells, also known as dead pancreatic cells, with stem cells forms the basis of stem cell therapy for DM. The stem cells differentiate into active cells after attaching to the pancreas' tissues. In DM, a catheter is inserted into the pancreatic artery using an X-ray scanner and the procedure takes 90 minutes. The foundation of DM stem cell treatment is the use of stem cells to replace damaged beta cells in the pancreas. Treatments for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus include pancreatic transplants, individual beta cell transplants and islets of Langerhans.
