Japanese Scientists Develop Artificial Blood Compatible with All Blood Types

Japanese scientists have developed artificial blood that works for all blood types. Created from expired donor blood, this synthetic alternative can be stored for up to two years at room temperature and five years refrigerated, outlasting traditional donations. Clinical trials are underway, with researchers aiming for practical use by 2030. If successful, this innovation could address blood shortages and improve transfusion accessibility, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
