British scientists use stem cells to cultivate universal O blood

Release date: 2014-04-17

According to the British "Times" on the 14th news: British Scottish scientists successfully cultivated artificial blood from human stem cells, and will conduct clinical experiments, once successful, will be mass-produced, unlimited supply of blood of various blood types. This research for the 2016 plan will pave the way for large-scale manufacturing of blood. Scientists say that this blood will eventually replace blood donation and become the main source of blood for patients. The research team led by Marc Turner, the medical director of the Scottish National Blood Service Center, spent a few years investing £5 million through the “induced pluripotent stem cells” (ips). ) Culture bleeding red blood cells. At present, the cultivation process of artificial red blood cells takes about one month, and the success rate has reached 4 to 50%. Turner said: "This is the first time humans have made red blood cells suitable for use in humans." The team will conduct clinical trials on three patients with Thalassaemia, inject 5 ml of artificial blood into the body and test the cells. Can it work properly? Turner estimates that artificial blood is likely to become mainstream after 20 years, but stressed that blood donation should not stop at this stage. Hunter, director of the Center for Tissue Engineering at the University of Liverpool, UK, agrees. He said: "If people stop donating blood, the health care system will collapse. But if artificial blood can be put into large-scale use in the future, it will keep the supply of global red blood cells stable." Moreover, in the long run, artificial blood is more than each unit. It is much cheaper to donate £120. The use of artificial blood in the gospel of thalassemia patients may be beneficial in health. Blood cells can survive for about 100 days in the human body and will continue to regenerate, so the donated blood contains new and old cells; while the artificial cells are all new cells, so that thalassemia patients who need to transfuse once every 2 to 4 weeks , can reduce the number of blood transfusions. In theory, this method can supply an unlimited amount of artificial blood that is free of disease and compatible with the patient's blood type. But in fact, upgrading this process is challenging.

Black Waxy Corn

Although corn is sweet, it is important to note that it is a medium glycemic index food, which means that the sugar content is not very high, so why does it taste sweet? This is a question for many people. In fact, corn tastes sweet because it contains soluble new sugar substances, but in general, its carbohydrate content is actually not high, so it is still suitable for people with high blood sugar to use as a staple food to help control blood sugar.

Corn can control blood sugar, but you have to be careful how you eat it

But the doctor is to remind everyone that although corn can help control blood sugar, but it is recommended that we corn food life or need to eat the right only important, if a single consumption of corn, as a medium glycemic level of food, corn will still lead us to elevated blood sugar please, in addition will lead to indigestion, body flatulence, etc., resulting in our body's nutrient supply is insufficient, so life we for eating duo to pay attention to.
