Cedric Ghevaert, professor in transfusion medicine at the University of Cambridge and one of the study leaders, said:"This clinical trial is ground-breaking because it is the first time we are producing red cells in the laboratory in such a way we can compare how they behave after transfusion compared to standard donated red cells.
