Artificial blood made from human stem cells will be tested in clinical trials in Britain within three years and could be used routinely in hospitals within a decade, according to Scottish scientists.

Synthetic blood could save crucial time in ambulances and on the battlefield because there would be no need to test a patient's blood type before administering a transfusion.
