Scientists discover key signal for artificial blood production
Scientists have been working on the artificial production of blood for several decades. Now, researchers from the University of Konstanz and Queen Mary University of London have taken an important step closer to that goal with a new discovery.
Blood from the laboratory: When red blood cells ripen, they lose their cell nucleus in the last step. Researchers have now identified the trigger for this for the first time. According to this, a certain messenger substance ensures that the precursor cell divides asymmetrically and the subsequent blood cell runs out empty. This knowledge opens up the chance to produce human blood more efficiently in the laboratory in the future and thus compensa…
Breakthrough in artificial blood production - Scientific Inquirer
Scientists have been working on the artificial production of blood for several decades. Now, researchers from the University of Konstanz and Queen Mary University of London have taken an important step closer to that goal with a new discovery. Roughly 15,000 units of blood are needed daily in Germany, most of which currently come from donations. Research into developing alternative sources, such as large-scale artificial blood production, has be…
