Scientists in Britain have produced red blood cells from spare IVF embryos for the first time.
The research is part of a drive to produce synthetic blood on an industrial scale thus putting an end to the reliance on blood donors to provide the blood needed for medical tranfusions.Researchers used more than a 100 spare embryos left over from treatment at fertility clinics to establish several embryonic stem cell “lines”. One of those lines, known as RC-7, was transformed into blood stem cells before they were converted into red cells containing haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying pigment.
