  • 5 million pound artificial red blood cell project is being led by Marc Turner at Edinburgh University
  • Initial trial of artificial blood to be on 3 thalassaemia patients
  • Artificial blood unlikely to put an end to blood donations for next 20 years when it will have finally been accepted by all and sundry
  • Blood to be created by culturing iPS cells under biochemical conditions as it happens inside human body
  • Blood to be created out of universal O- blood type, that can be injected into all patients.
