How to Build a Better Blood Stem Cell and Why It Matters

Imagine a cell so powerful that it can regenerate your entire blood system. Now imagine growing that cell in a lab dish, tailoring it for transplantation, and using it to treat patients with leukaemia, bone marrow failure, or rare immunodeficiencies, all without needing a donor match. That’s the promise driving a new wave of regenerative […]
