In the first hand, we washed the skin which, we took from a leukemia patient, with protein and blood maker cells and with this way we produced blood cell. The source of the cells is the patient skin that means patient tissues will never refuse the newly-produced blood because the source is the patient," Bhatia noted.

The basic process is largely the task of white blood cells. Through continual adaptation, a dizzying number of our white blood cells learn to recognize a specific bacterium, virus, fungus, or even a normal cell that has become cancerous, by responding to unique proteins on the cell surfaces.

For the first time, scientists have transformed human embryonic stem cells into primitive blood cells that are capable of maturing into specialized blood-forming cells, an achievement that lays the foundation for new therapies using laboratory-made tissues and organs from embryonic cells.

The red blood cells are in charge of transporting oxygen to body tissues and so the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is enhanced.
