Somebody ring the bell at the line manufacturing plant , because it ’s almost time to get those assembly lines hunt . Almost . A squad of British scientistssay they ’ve created red lineage cell suitable for transfusioninto humans , a breakthrough that could change the lives of millions — if it work .
The announcement comes from Marc Turner , a Wellcome Trust - fund researcher from the University of Edinburgh who ’s been working with cells that have been take from world , rewound into stem cells , and then get into Type O red blood cells . ( Type oxygen is the ecumenical blood type . ) “ Although similar inquiry has been conduct elsewhere , this is the first time anybody has manufactured blood to the appropriate quality and safe standards for transfusion into a human being , ” TurnertoldThe Telegraph .
In fact , Turner himself has done a lot of that similar inquiry . Back in 2011 , Turnerannounced a methodusing bone marrow stem cells , but the finished ware was n’t quite yet ready for trial . And last class , a scientist from Transylvania ( of all places)invented a type of artificial bloodthat worked in computer mouse but , again , was n’t quite ready to be tested in humans . However , if he stay to his plan to complete at trial by 2016 or other 2017 , Turner will be the first to make blood transfusion in human organism . From there , we ’ll actually be able to mass manufacture blood in factories and improve a lot of lives in the cognitive process .
