Good artificial blood! They transfused red blood cell synthesis

This is a first! French researchers (Cocorico) managed to make red blood cells derived from stem cells, then the red blood cells for transfusion to a human, not that he dies, turning into a zombie or fly! Why is this important?

First, red blood cells represent 85% of transfusion requirements. And as long as you do not need, you can not you know it or remember the importance of donating blood, but every day, transfusions save hundreds of lives.

Red blood cells produced by the researchers were transfused successfully on a voluntary basis. Their conclusion: the life and survival of these cells are similar to conventional cells.

Now, researchers hope to obtain authorizations for transfusions by a decade and produce this blood on an industrial scale. The goal: saving lives. Make it more blood shortage in some areas, producing blood for patients with rare blood groups etc ...

Until this medical advance is enabled, do not forget to save lives, we must continue to give blood.
