Future prospects for artificial blood

T M Chang. Trends Biotechnol. 1999 Feb.

Abstract

Concern about potential infective agents in donated blood has stimulated the recent development of blood substitutes. Chemically cross-linked hemoglobins are already undergoing clinical trials and might soon be ready for routine use. New generations of modified hemoglobin are being prepared to modulate the effects of nitric oxide and oxygen radicals, and artificial red blood cells are also under development.
