Interesting & short article about artificial blood in Aljazeera, focusing on lab-grown blood (the alternative to HBOCs /PFCs).
Also summarizes their main disadvantage: "producing lab-grown blood is currently much more expensive than using donated blood".

While I am more interested in the latter, it is good to follow all the progresses made in each approach. Knowing a clinical trial was done in 2022 shows great promise for artificial blood!
