Using artificial blood on human body

French scientists Pierre Paris and Marie Curie have successfully tested artificial human blood made from stem cells on the human body.

After 5 days of testing, 94% of the artificial blood cells introduced into the human body still exist and circulate in the body of the volunteer. Twenty-six days later, 41 to 63% of blood cells still exist in the body. Scientists evaluate the natural survival rate of very high artificial blood and oxygen transport function to the whole body like normal blood.

Scientists say this is a significant advance in the World Medicine industry, the success of the experiment will contribute to improving the current anemia situation worldwide. Even though the number of volunteers donating blood is increasing, the world is still at risk of serious anemia, especially in countries with high HIV incidence, the situation of anemia is getting worse. than.

Laboratories around the world are still working hard to create artificial blood to replace natural blood. For example, the research team of Essex University Chris Cooper UK is conducting research to synthesize a hemoglobin substitute, which can cause some diseases in the body. , because it is not made from stem cells. The method of hematopoietic stem cells has its own advantages, blood from stem cells has many similarities to natural blood, and it will not harm the patient's health.

This is a big step in the world medical industry. However, for mass production in large quantities is still a long way ahead because this test is only conducted on normal people with a blood volume of only 1/200 of the blood in the body.
