Human blood stem cells grown in the lab for the first time

posted on 5/18/2017 2:05:00 PM

The stem cells that produce our blood have been created in the lab for the first time. These could one day be used to treat people who have blood diseases and leukaemia with their own cells, rather than bone marrow transplants from a donor. They could also be used to create blood for transfusions.
