New Artificial Blood: The Breaking News that is Neither Breaking Nor News (Comments on the article in the New Scientist Magazine of March 13,2004)

摘要

Sylvia Weslphal's article New Artificial Blood Shows Promise contains a sensational claim that, over many years, numerous developers of gas-transporting blood substitutes pursued a wrong line of research and foiled to understand how gas-transporting blood substitutes work. The breaking news is that it is only now that this understanding has been gained and a proper substitute created. However, the three points to be aware of in developing blood substitutes are not nearly as new as they are presented. Researchers know of them. Our gas-transporting blood substitute formulation Perftoran (www.perftoran.ru) exemplifies that we have stuck to these points.
