Now, researchers have made synthetic red blood cells that have all of the cells' natural abilities, plus a few new ones.

I worked on a similar project in 2000, one of many ongoing at that time and since then, trying to develop an “off the shelf” RBC or hemoglobin substitute.

None has been successful ultimately in delivering a product, but each “failed” study/project brings us closer to an eventual solution.
