Japanese scientists developed artificial blood that works for all blood types and lasts up to two years.
The breakthrough, made at Nara Medical University, uses expired haemoglobin from donor blood, encapsulated in lipid shells to mimic red blood cells.
Unlike traditional blood, it does not require refrigeration, making it ideal for emergencies, disasters, and rural hospitals.
In March, 16 volunteers received transfusions of 100–400 millilitres in the first clinical trials.
The goal is to prove safety and reliability before expanding to large-scale efficacy tests.
If approved, the technology could save millions of lives by solving blood shortage and mismatch crises.
Experts say it may even reach areas current transfusion systems cannot, such as blocked vessels in stroke patients.
Japan hopes to achieve clinical rollout by 2030, potentially changing global health care forever.
