Potential Artificial Blood Products for Use in Hypothermia Induced During Surgeries
The blood from woolly mammoths—those extinct elephant-like creatures that roamed the Earth in pre-historic times—is helping McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine affiliated faculty member Chien Ho, PhD, professor at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) as well as the director of the Pittsburgh NMR Center for Biomedical Research (jointly sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh and CMU), and his colleagues develop new blood products for modern medical procedures that involve reducing patients' body temperature. The report appears in American Chemical Society's journal Biochemistry.
