Artificial Blood Created by a scientist in Transylvania

  No comments    



It might sound like a story from science fiction movies but what you read is true .
A scientist named Professor Radu Silaghi-Dumitrescu and his team have successfully transfused artificial blood into animals ( mice) without any after effects , animals were fine after the transfusion .

The artificial blood contains a substance called hemerythin , which exists in invertebrates which is sturdier than hemoglobin present in our blood . 
However the artificial blood is unlikely to replace natural one but it can help in situations where there is shortage of blood and can buy couple of hours for the patient until Blood is found , but it might take years of testing to be considered safe for human use .
