5 years ago local artificial blood was produced

In 2016, completely local artificial blood was produced at Eskişehir Osmangazi University. It was stated that the fluid was compatible with all blood groups. Eskişehir Osmangazi University (ESOGÜ) Faculty of Arts and Sciences Head of General Biology Department Assoc. Dr. Adnan Ayhanc is, in a statement on that topic in the period, Turkey Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) presented "Multidisciplinary Research Project" that successfully completed entirely of preliminary work in the domestic hemoglobin-based blood substitutes production within the scope of the proposal. Stating that the project was supported by ESOGÜ, Anadolu University, Kars Kafkas University, Dicle University and the technopark company Bionkit Bio-Nano Chemical Technologies Engineering-Consultancy, Ayhancı stated that the need for blood will be met with the project. Ayhanc stating that served the 8 basic researchers under the project, "many countries in the world, artificial was producing blood. So we realized that this artificial blood production in Turkey. One of the blood's main function is to carry oxygen in the body and that leaving the tissue is to take carbon dioxide instead. Artificial blood production, "It is not an alternative to conventional blood donation and transfusion, but rather a support. Our research team believes that blood donation should continue at the same speed.
