A way to produce artificial blood has been found on an industrial scale
Although scientists have previously found a way to create artificial blood in the laboratory from stem cells, the amount of red blood cells is still small and immature, so it cannot be used in practice.
However, British researchers have solved this with a "nourishing" technique to produce blood with "endless" red blood cells, which are "mature" red blood cells of any degree. What age " at will, thereby making the dream of creating large-scale artificial blood a reality.
The UK Health Service is planning a clinical trial of artificial blood this year.
The other problem now is to convert that technology from the laboratory to the industrial scale to commercialize and truly, it is also challenging. Now scientists have been able to produce several liters of blood in the laboratory, but things will be very different when they want to produce enough blood to meet the needs of both a particular hospital or the general health sector. .
It is known that the UK Health Service is planning a clinical trial of artificial blood this year but the newly developed technology is not yet on the test list.
However, if artificial hematopoietic techniques on a large scale are successfully tested, it is not necessary to say how well we can imagine it: patients who need to donate blood, especially Rare blood groups for timely surgery, thereby contributing to saving patients' lives. A future where the problem of blood donation is no longer available.
