Within the scope of the research conducted at the Murdoch Paediatric Research Institute in Australia, laboratory-produced stem cells were successfully injected into mice.
Multi-stage bone marrow formation was observed in the stem cells of 25 per cent to 50 per cent of mice injected with laboratory-produced stem cells.
Researchers stated that although the stem cells produced in the laboratory were successfully injected into mice, it is still early for clinical trials on humans.
Stating that stem cells created with samples taken from patients can eliminate the risk of incompatibility between cell donors and recipients, researchers reported that stem cells produced in this way can treat patients by correcting the genetic causes of blood diseases such as bone marrow failure syndromes.
The research was published in the journal ‘Nature’.
