Blood donors¹ may no longer be needed in the future after scientists showed it was possible to create blood from stem cells. , ,科学家们表明干细胞有望用于造血 ，未来可能不再需要献血者。, ,The 20 year project could pave the way for an unlimited ² number of blood and immune cells for transplants, simply by reprogramming a patient’s own skin cells. , ,The research, reported in the journal Nature, holds out enormous promise for developing personalised treatments for blood disorders ³, drug-screening and reducing shortages of donated blood. , ,Dr Ryohichi Sugimura, of Boston Children's Hospital, said: "This gives us the potential to have a limitless supply of blood stem cells and blood by taking cells from universal donors. This could potentially augment ⁴ the blood supply for patients who need transfusions ⁵. , ,"This step opens up an opportunity to take cells from patients with genetic ⁶ blood disorders, use gene ⁷ editing to correct their genetic defect and make functional ⁸ blood cells."
