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.

"We are immensely grateful to our trial participants. Without them, this clinical trial would never see the light of day."
