Lab-Grown Blood Stem Cells Promise Personalized Cancer Treatments

New method creates patient-specific stem cells, potentially ending reliance on bone marrow donors.

Scientists have successfully grown human blood stem cells in a lab for the first time.
The lab-grown cells can become functional bone marrow, reducing the risk of transplant rejection.
This approach could provide an unlimited supply of stem cells from a patient's own cells.
Researchers aim to begin human trials within five years to ensure safety and efficacy.
The breakthrough could revolutionize treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood diseases.
