Red blood cells

A scalable cell culture platform can generate universal red blood cells from stem cells, paving the way for manufacturing an abundant supply of blood for transfusions.

With
an eye to transfusion for patients, researchers are getting close to growing huge
numbers of red blood cells in industrial-grade vats

Red blood cells derived from stem
cells could offer a limitless supply for transfusions

Understanding the diversity of immature red blood cells in greater detail could help protect against Asia’s most common form of malaria
