Scientists Establish Large-Scale Erythrocyte Production Using Erythrocyte Progenitor Cells

A Kyoto University research team led by Prof. Koji Eto at CiRA has succeeded in producing erythrocyte progenitor cells, by transducing two genes (c-MYC and BCL-XL) into iPS cells and ES cells. With almost unlimited ability to replicate in vitro, they then differentiated successfully into mature erythrocytes. Although these erythrocytes consisted mostly of fetal-type hemoglobin, they were confirmed to have oxygen-carrying capacity and to have circulatory capacity ...
