The development of blood substitutes, often called artificial blood, began in the early 1600s.
While a single definitive "invention" date is hard to pinpoint, it's more accurate to describe it as an ongoing process. The quest for the ideal blood substitute has been underway for centuries.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Early Exploration: Development started in the early 1600s.
- Ongoing Research: The search for a perfect blood substitute is still in progress.
- Production Methods: Modern artificial blood can be created through:
- Synthetic production.
- Chemical isolation.
- Recombinant biochemical technology.
