Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Hematology
  • Materials Science

Context:

  • Blood component shortages and transfusion-related infectious diseases necessitate the development of blood substitutes.
  • Current blood transfusion therapies face challenges including limited storage time and risk of viral infection.

Purpose:

  • To review the development and potential of artificial oxygen carriers and platelet substitutes.
  • To highlight hemoglobin vesicles (HbV) as a promising artificial oxygen carrier candidate.
  • To discuss the challenges and approaches in developing artificial platelet substitutes.

Summary:

  • Various artificial oxygen carriers are under investigation, including perfluorochemicals, modified hemoglobins, and liposome-encapsulated hemoglobins (HbV).
  • HbV demonstrate safety and efficacy in preclinical models and are advancing towards clinical trials as red blood substitutes.
