Turning Skin Into Blood

Scientists at McMaster University have discovered a new way to produce blood: With your skin.

"The discovery, published in the science journal Nature, is still preliminary. But the find could mean that one day, people undergoing treatment for cancers of the blood or other blood disorders won't have to rely on blood and bone marrow donations from others but could use blood created from their own skin."
