It does not contain the A, B, AB, or O blood-type markers that often complicate emergency transfusions. As a result, doctors can <strong>skip blood-type matching<\/strong>, saving crucial minutes during surgeries or trauma response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the <strong>long shelf life<\/strong> makes it ideal for use in disaster zones, remote areas, or military operations where refrigeration is difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Made From Expired Blood, Free From Viruses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artificial blood, developed by <strong>Professor Hiromi Sakai<\/strong> and her team at <strong>Nara Medical University<\/strong>, is created by extracting <strong>haemoglobin<\/strong>\u2014the oxygen-carrying molecule in red blood cells\u2014from expired donated blood. This haemoglobin is then encapsulated in <strong>fat-based bubbles<\/strong> to mimic real red blood cells, ensuring it can travel through the bloodstream without causing immune reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process eliminates viruses and significantly reduces the risk of infection or transfusion-related complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clinical Trials Show Promising Results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initial human trials, launched in 2022, showed <strong>no serious side effects<\/strong> among healthy volunteers. The ongoing phase is now testing larger transfusion volumes\u2014between 100 and 400 millilitres\u2014to assess performance and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If successful, <strong>Japan could introduce artificial blood into hospitals and ambulances by 2030<\/strong>, making it the first country to deploy this technology at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Future Without Blood Shortages?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the World Health Organisation, many countries face persistent blood shortages. If widely adopted, this synthetic solution could <strong>ease pressure on blood banks<\/strong>, provide faster care in emergencies, and <strong>ensure safer transfusions<\/strong>, especially in underserved regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artificial blood might soon become a global game-changer in trauma care, routine surgery, and medical preparedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.kyodonews.net\/articles\/-\/48794?phrase=Women&amp;words=#google_vignette\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese researchers have achieved a major medical milestone by developing artificial blood that can be safely used across all blood types.
