the volunteers are invited and they are matched to blood donors who give us the stem cell. from the stem cell in a period of 20 days we make the red cells and then we inject those after they have been labelled. we check how long they survive in the circulation and we compare that with the red cells from the same donor prepared in the standard way. just how much does this cost? the i prepared in the standard way. just i how much does this cost? the costs ofthe how much does this cost? the costs of the production how much does this cost? the costs of the production of how much does this cost? the costs of the production of the how much does this cost? the costs of the production of the cells - how much does this cost? the costs of the production of the cells is i of the production of the cells is still high compared to what a standard compiling of red cell cost, which is £130. but the next step will be once we have proven these cells do work will be upscaling and manufacturing whi
blood grown in a laboratory has been given to people, in a world first clinical trial. research teams from bristol, cambridge, london and nhs blood & transplant are testing tiny quantities, equivalent to a couple of spoonfuls, to see how it reacts inside the body. as our health correspondent catherine burns reports, researchers used stem cells from donated blood. 5,000 people do this every day in england, but for patients with rare blood types there might only be one or two people who can donate to them. researchers hope to change that. we are really excited because this is the first time we have been able to grow enough red cells from stem cells in laboratory to transfers them into healthy volunteers. we really think this is going to be a possible way of making red cells in the future for patients who we currently find it really difficult to find much blood for. it starts with a normal donation. stem cells are isolated
