#Japan just created #synthetic blood that works across all #blood types and needs no refrigeration: Unlike traditional #human blood, which requires type matching and refrigeration, this new #artificial version is #universal and shelf-stable for up to two years. In #animal trials, it successfully treated life-threatening blood loss, demonstrating its hashtag#life-saving potential across a variety of […]
- Lab-grown blood given to people in world-first clinical trial ()
By James Gallagher Health and science correspondent Blood that has been grown in a laboratory has been put into people in a world-first clinical trial, UK researchers say. Tiny amounts – equivalent to a couple of spoonfuls – are being tested to see how it performs inside the body. The bulk of blood transfusions will […]
- Scientists Have Discovered a New Set of Blood Groups ()
The ‘Er’ grouping could help doctors identify and treat some rare cases of blood incompatibility, including between pregnant mothers and fetuses. The unborn baby was in trouble. Its mother’s doctors, at a UK hospital, knew there was something wrong with the fetus’s blood, so they decided to perform an emergency C-section many weeks before the […]
- Blood substitute repairs damaged organs hours after heart stops ()
Use of an artificial blood substitute can reverse cell damage caused by lack of oxygen and could make more organs available for transplants, treat heart attacks and strokes and even reverse death. A procedure that reverses cell damage after the heart has stopped pumping blood may lead to more organ transplants and better treatments for […]
- The lugworm, frequently used as bait, could save human lives ()
For centuries, the only use humans found for the lugworm — dark pink, slimy and inedible — was on the end of a fish hook. But the invertebrates’ unappreciated status is about to change. Their blood, say French researchers, has an extraordinary ability to load up with life-giving oxygen. Harnessing it for human needs could […]

Artificial cells in biotechnology and medicine with emphasis on potential applications in medicine Different types of artificial cells are being investigated for many medical conditions. Contents of artificial cells include enzymes, hemoglobin, cells, genetically engineered cells and other biotechnological materials. The size ranges from cellular dimensions to the higher millimetre ranges (for cell culture and […]
- Blood Substitutes and Oxygen Therapeutics: A Review ()
Despite the exhaustive search for an acceptable substitute to erythrocyte transfusion, neither chemical-based products such as perfluorocarbons nor hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers have succeeded in providing a reasonable alternative to allogeneic blood transfusion. However, there remain scenarios in which blood transfusion is not an option, due to patient’s religious beliefs, inability to find adequately cross-matched erythrocytes, […]
