'We want to make as much blood as possible in the future, so the vision in my head is a room full of machines producing it continually from a normal blood donation.'
, in a demonstration of potentially game-changing medical tech that could end scarcity of rare blood types.
Some of these groups are so uncommon that there "might only be ten people in the country" to donate samples, as University of Bristol's Ashley Toye told theTo grow blood in the lab, the researchers mixed magnetic beads into a regular blood donation to tease out stem cells that could later be turned into red blood cells., roughly half a million stem cells can be turned into 50 billion red blood cells in a matter of roughly three weeks.
The trial, which will eventually involve ten healthy participants, has already kicked off with two participants having received a donation of the equivalent of a couple of teaspoons of the synthetic blood.
