The pair are healthy volunteers in the "Recovery and survival of stem cell originated red cells" (RESTORE) trial, a one-of-a-kind clinical trial taking place at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. The trial will ultimately include at least 10 participants, each of whom will receive a tiny transfusion of about one to two teaspoons-worth of lab-grown red blood cells.

Researchers have estimated that each baleen-bearing behemoth could ingest up to 96 pounds (43.5 kilograms) of microplastics in a single day — around the average weight of a 13-year-old human.
