Torsten Tonn Highlights Breakthrough in Blood Pharming: miRNA-30a-5p Knockout Restores Red Cell Differentiation
Torsten Tonn, Professor for Transfusion Medicine and Molecular Hematology, shared an insightful post on LinkedIn:
“Congratulation to Romy Kronstein Wiedemann and Jessica Thiel and colleagues in our Dresden Institute for Transfusion Medicine. This paper reports previously unkown mechanisms that account for the ineffective in vitro differentiation of red blood cells from immortalized stem cell sources. This is an important step towards to making blood pharming a reality!”
