Resumen de Blood stem cells made in the lab for first time
People with blood diseases and leukemia could one day be treated with their own cells, rather than with bone marrow transplants. That's the prospect in sight after two studios have created blood-making stem cells in the lab. George Daley at Harvard Medical School and his colleagues set out to create blood stem cells from human pluripotent stem cells--which can form almost any type of body cell. A separate team has achieved a similar feat with stem cells taken from adult mice. Raphael Lis at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York and his colleagues started with cells taken from the animals' lungs.
