  Nano blood cells could offer convenient, portable alternative to transfusion

  Jan 17, 2017 8:00 am |  1 View

  Researchers have developed the first artificial red blood cells designed to emulate vital functions of natural red blood cells. If confirmed safe for use in humans, the nanotechnology-based product could represent an innovative alternative to blood transfusions that would be especially valuable on the battlefield and in other situations where donated blood is difficult to obtain or store.
