Pretty neat. They take a pint of blood, separate out the stem cells, “guide” aka convert them (not explained, but I think it can be done with gene therapy and complicated physical/chemical treatment) to become red blood cells, and culture those red cells in vats.
World-changing if it works.
- inglor_cz 4y agoThe price tag is important. So far, these therapies are expensive. If, in the future, the stem cells can be nudged into their work more cheaply, the effect will be world-changing indeed.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoimagine falling into one of those vats, https://ibb.co/zhH2QYX https://ibb.co/zhH2QYX this feeling is more like it
- tomcam 4y agoWe dodged a bullet! They’re pretty small vats right now. Whew.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y ago"vats" are supposed to mean big vessels. tumblers, glasses, dishes and trays "mean small", just small nitpickings
- tomcam 4y agoA vat could be 30 gallons and still not be enough to fall into
- dotancohen 4y agoLove isn't even a few grams, but you could still fall in love.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoyou know those buzzkill people who say "you rise in love,not fall in it", eh.
