“We have assembled an outstanding team to develop a bio-synthetic whole-blood product that can be freeze-dried for easy portability, storage, and reconstitution,” the study’s principal ...

The end result is artificial red blood cells that have similar size, shape, charge and surface proteins to the real thing. The team showed that these synthetic RBCs were able to deform enough to ...

A person can identify their blood type at home using a rapid blood typing kit. Using the kit requires a person to prick a finger with a needle. The kit comes with a card that contains chemicals ...

Scientists have tried to develop synthetic red blood cells that mimic the favorable properties of natural ones, such as flexibility, oxygen transport and long circulation times. But so far ...

With traumatic injury the leading cause of death for people aged 4 to 44, a team of researchers has sought a way to enhance the natural blood-clotting process by creating synthetic platelets that ...

Scientists are working on an artificial blood component that they hope can be a synthetic substitute for human blood. One of the lead scientists gave ABC11 an up-close look at the research that ...
