Lab-grown blood given to people in world-first clinical trial

In a 1st, two people receive transfusions of lab-grown blood cells

A clinical trial will test the viability of lab-grown blood cells for transfusions.

UK Researchers Give Lab-Grown Blood To Humans In World-First Clinical Trial

Blood grown in a laboratory has been transfused into humans in a world-first clinical trial that researchers in the United Kingdom say could significantly improve treatment for people with blood disorders and rare blood types.

Patients receive lab-grown blood transfusion in world-first clinical trial

Volunteers receive a transfusion of blood grown in a laboratory from stem cells of donors to see if it lasts longer than blood donated from a standard transfusion. 

Lab-grown blood transfused into volunteers in groundbreaking trial

Transfusions with the red blood cells grown in a laboratory could transform the lives of patients with sickle cell disease.

Lab-grown blood given to people in world's first clinical trial

Scientists in the UK have infused blood cells grown in a laboratory into people in the first such clinical trial in the world. If proven safe and effective, manufactured blood cells could in time revolutionise treatments for people with blood disorders such as sickle cell and rare blood types, the researchers said. It can be difficult to find enough well-matched donated blood

Blood grown in a lab has been put into people in a world-first trial. Here's how it works

Scientists are hopeful that the lab-grown blood could perform better than blood collected directly from donors.
