Israeli company produces blood to alleviate shortages

With hospitals at capacity and prospective blood donors quarantined at home these past few years, blood donations fell when they were needed most. As everyday medical procedures took a backseat to COVID-19 patients, a backlog of treatments ensued. 

Israeli company RedC Biotech is looking to alleviate blood shortages by developing universal red blood cells in a lab that can then be employed for patients without the need for a donor. 

Their lab-produced universal blood cells follow an exact scientific process. First, the scientists create a “master cell bank” by taking stem cells from a donor with universal O negative blood. The stem cells are then cultivated to a very high concentration where they undergo differentiation (the process through which stem cells turn into their target cells), and propagated (multiplied).
