Melbourne researchers create lab-grown human blood stem cells, potentially transforming leukemia and blood disorder treatments.

Researchers at Melbourne's Murdoch Children's Research Institute have created lab-grown human blood stem cells, a breakthrough that could transform treatments for leukemia and other blood disorders. This innovation may eliminate the need for donor stem cells by using a patient's own skin or blood cells. The findings, published in Nature Biotechnology, pave the way for potential clinical trials within five years, aiming to enhance safety and efficacy in blood-related treatments.
