@tilscience: Scientists in Japan have created the first UNIVERSAL blood (and it’s about time). Here’s why 👇 Only 50% of Americans actually know their blood type and only 7% are O-negative universal blood donors. It’s a problem. But Japanese scientists have now possibly cracked a decades-old problem: they’ve created artificial blood that works for ANYONE, regardless of blood type. No more dying while waiting for compatible blood. The breakthrough? They extracted oxygen-carrying hemoglobin from expired donor blood and wrapped it in a protective shell that removes all the stuff that causes blood to be incompatible in the first place. Human trials started in March 2025 with 16 volunteers with successful results: good oxygen delivery with minimal side effects Your blood type shouldn’t determine if you survive an emergency. Science is fixing that. #Science #medicine #medical #bloodtype #DidYouKnow Be honest, do you know your blood type?

Talking Chausie :

Vampires rejoice! At last 🥰

dumbchauffeur83 :

TYPE O NEGATIVE??????

Oshakai :

I wonder if this works for people with warm auto antibodies as well. Because those peoppe can be VERY difficult to find compitible blood for.

⚛️ Kavin ☭ :

could this potentially save the lives of jehovah’s witnesses who refuse transfusions because of their beliefs

the_mtndew_family :

I wonder if that would help the people who refuse blood transfusions for religious reasons. I wonder if they would accept this blood since it’s not from another human. I wonder if that would change it at all on their pain of it but I don’t know. Makes me wonder if that would be good in general, but I wonder if it would help save them and their families too.

PujSoo :

Wait what?!? People don’t now their blood type?? 👀

hydraz11 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 :

mintiekume | 💿〰️💿 :

If o- is already universal except you would need o- to give to o-, what type of blood did they create if o- already exists

nightowl25 :

VeeDraws :

This might be just me, but this reminded my of the stuff from KOG

Shak :

so when does Dracula come out of hiding and give a press conference about vampires being real?

Ash :

I know this would help with the blood shortage cause it lasts longer and can use expired blood, but wouldn’t it also not completely fix the issue because it’s made from blood?

Yair P.J. aka J. :

Sin red :

洪勝安 :

Little D Energy :

♌️TripleLeo☀️🌙⬆️ :

That’s great bc I’m O- so I can donate to anyone but can only receive my own type so that seriously narrows my chances of it being on hand if I need it
