Artificial Blood Cells Factory Reported by Oregon Doctors
Two University of Oregon medical researchers, Dr Batwin Ongood and Dr Inex Brown, describe a simple artificial blood cell factory in the Pacific. They extract marrow from a collarbone, thread a syringe through a tube, inject a gas mix, and warm the marrow to grow cultured cells that behave like blood cells. The method, while not exact to body conditions, allows rapid growth of many cultures and aids study of medium composition effects.
