First-ever Lab Grown Blood

article image placeholderUploaded by @EricG
When people receive lots of transfusions, they also run the risk of developing too much iron in their bodies. The scientists started with a regular blood donation and used magnetic beads to pinpoint the flexible stem cells that can morph into red blood cells. That's pretty cool. Then they put the stem cells into a nutrient solution for 18 to 21 days, which nudges the cells to proliferate and grow into more mature cells

Thanks for sharing this. It actually inspired me to go to Science.org, and I signed up for the Quantum Innovation 2022, so I wouldn't have done that if I didn't hear this well. So thanks for sharing that
