Red blood cell colony
Caption: Red blood cell colony derived from human embryonic stem cells by scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. These are the first specialized human cells coaxed down a specific developmental pathway to be reported in the scientific literature. The ability to make human blood in the lab may one day augment human blood supplies for purposes of transfusion and transplantation.
