Cambridge scientists grow human embryo models that produce blood cells

Cambridge scientists have successfully created lab-grown human embryo models that produce blood cells, a significant advancement for regenerative therapies. Using human stem cells, the "hematoids" mimic natural embryonic development, generating blood after approximately two weeks in the lab. This breakthrough could aid in studying blood disorders and developing transplant therapies. This research, though early stage, offers potential for future treatments using a patient's own cells to repair damaged tissues, potentially revolutionizing regenerative medicine.
