According to U.S. National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, Red blood cells are common components in blood transfusion.
The cells contain haemoglobin that delivers oxygen to the body tissues, scientists have tried to develop chemically modified haemoglobin.
Blood transmissions can save lives of patients that suffered blood loss in an accident. Hospital may not have the right type of blood, scientists have discovered a new method of producing substitute blood to save lives.
Researchers wrapped haemoglobin in polydopamine and test it in the laboratory, it shows polydopamine haemoglobin carrying oxygen effectively and it also prevents methaemoglobin and hydrogen peroxide.
The blood formed-polidopamine haemoglobin, caused minimum cell damage and served as an effective antioxidant. It removes damaging free radicals and reactive oxygen species.
