Advances in the characterization of in vitro–generated red blood cells: from biophysical properties to functional applications
This review underscores both current advances and persistent challenges in characterizing in vitro-generated RBCs, and it proposes a translational framework that integrates multi-omics data into their development and evaluation. By explicitly linking molecular regulation with process control and quality metrics, this approach provides a roadmap to optimize functional performance and ensure clinical readiness of in vitro-generated RBCs.
