Scientists believe embryonic human stem cells can be coaxed into becoming blood cells thereby creating an unlimited supply of disease-free blood.
Scientists believe embryonic human stem cells can be coaxed into becoming blood cells thereby creating an unlimited supply of disease-free blood.
Dr. Marc Turner, a cell biologist from Scotland, has received a multi-million dollar research grant to do just that.
Turner's team will try to make embryonic human stem cell grow into O- negative blood -- the universal donor type, useful in the vast majority of transfusions.
"These cells are being generated from human embryonic stem cells, which themselves are generated from three-to-five-day-old human embryos," Turner says.
