Tokyo: Japanese researchers have created platelets by inducing stem cells are pluripotent, or iPS cells. As reported by the Japanese news agency NHK, Tuesday (23/11), researchers from the University of Tokyo makes platelets by injecting the protein into the iPS cells derived from human skin tissue.
Professor Hiromitsu Nakauchi, one researcher said the mass production of platelets may help offset the shortage of blood donors is not sufficient. The researchers hope this breakthrough will help the shortage of blood platelets or platelets from donated blood.
Tests conducted on rats have shown that platelets are able to stem the bleeding. IPS cells have a tendency to turn cancerous, but platelets do not have the attitude that basis. Platelets are expected to increase the cells that could be cleared for clinical use.
