Haemoglobin-vesicles as artificial oxygen carriers: present situation and future visions.

Journal of internal medicine·2007

This review overviews red blood cell substitutes for clinical use. Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers, including hemoglobin-vesicles and synthetic alternatives, show promise for oxygen transport.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Hematology

Context:

  • The demand for effective blood substitutes is driven by the need for safe and reliable oxygen carriers.
  • Current limitations in blood banking and transfusion necessitate the development of artificial oxygen carriers.
  • Advancements in nanotechnology and biomaterials have enabled the creation of novel red blood cell substitutes.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the recent progress in red blood cell substitutes.
  • To summarize the characteristics and current status of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers.
  • To introduce the performance of totally synthetic oxygen carriers.

Summary:

  • Hemoglobin-based substitutes, such as polymer-conjugated, polymerized, and crosslinked hemoglobin, are discussed.

  • Hemoglobin-vesicles, encapsulated hemoglobin within phospholipid bilayers, demonstrate effective oxygen transport with good safety profiles.
  • Totally synthetic oxygen carriers, including lipid-heme embedded vesicles and microspheres, are also presented as potential alternatives.

    • Impact:

    • This research highlights the potential of advanced red blood cell substitutes to address clinical needs in oxygen delivery.
    • The development of these artificial oxygen carriers could revolutionize transfusion medicine and emergency care.
    • Further research into these substitutes promises improved patient outcomes and expanded therapeutic options.
