Created the world's first artificial erythrocytes

The world's first scientists were able to create an artificial red blood cells. Got their scientists from the University of Illinois in the laboratory with a special feeding and stem cells. Specialists say that artificial blood has a great advantage, since it has no pathogenic organisms, and for this reason it is impossible transfusion infected with HIV or hepatitis. The main achievement of the scientists is the fact that they could make lost able to make red blood cells during the growth of the core of the stem cells. This natural process is never reproduced in the laboratory. According to many experts - that is impossible. But scientists at the University of Illinois could prove that it works, and artificial red blood cells to deliver oxygen is no less effective than natural red blood cells in human blood. But there is a dearth of new discoveries. It lies in the fact that the group received blood stem cells of genes that means early in the process, which they are not all transplanted patients funds used is determined. The researchers hope that new acquisition increases the chances of subsequent universal blood that can be transfused to each patient.
