Article Title: The potential of stem cells as an in vitro source of red blood cells for transfusion
Abstract: Recent advances have increased excitement about the potential for therapeutic production of red blood cells (RBCs) in vitro. However, generation of RBCs in the large numbers required for transfusion remains a significant challenge. In this article, we summarize recent progress in producing RBCs from various cell sources, and discuss the hurdles that remain for translation into the clinical arena. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
