As with organ transplants, stem cells trigger an immune response when used in medical treatments, potentially leading to rejection of the cells.
To prevent this, Sana Biotechnology scientists have developed stem cells with removed HLA markers that survived uninhibited in rhesus macaques for months.
This opens up whole new prospects for medical treatment of organs and tissues.
