Lab-grown stem cells could be a 'breakthrough' for cancer treatment | New Scientist
Stem cells made in the lab may one day aid cancer treatment by reducing our reliance on donors
Human blood stem cells have been made in a laboratory for the first time, which could significantly improve how we treat certain types of cancer. The new method would allow researchers to produce stem cells from the actual patient, eliminating the supply issue and reducing the risk that their body would reject them. Simon Conn at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, says a key advantage of the team’s approach is that it could be scaled up to produce “an essentially never-ending supply” of blood stem cells.
