We experienced difficulties of stocking blood concentrate then we develop[ed] artificial blood."

However our artificial platelete there's no need to agitate and can be stored at a room temperature and it can last for about almost one year."

Japanese scientists say they have developed synthetic blood which can be used for any blood type and can help save lives in major emergencies. The researches behind the substance were seen at work at the National Defense Medical College in Saitama on Monday.
The substitute blood proved effective during a recent experiment on rabbits, with six out of 10 surviving lethal hemorrhaging from a liver injury - a number that is comparable to rabbits treated with real blood. There were no reported side effects, including blood clotting.
Menabu Kinoshita, the associate professor of immunology at the National Defense Medical College, and a member of the team, said that the fact that the artificial blood can be used universally across blood types "is a big advantage for emergency or chaotic condition[s]." It also increases the chances of survival for people in remote locations.
Storage of the substance is also easier than for real blood. "[With] our artificial platelete there's no need to agitate and can be stored at a room temperature and it can last for about almost one year," said Kinoshita.
The Waseda University and Nara Medical University worked alongside the National Defense Medical College to develop the substance.
