To increase shelf life of blood, DBT institute develops novel bags

Indian scientists have developed a novel blood bag that uses a special polymer that detects damage-related molecular patterns in the blood. This extends the shelf life to 51 days and keeps one transfusion-friendly. A novel blood bag, developed by Pravin Kumar Vemula and colleagues at the Bangalore-based Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (inStem), selectively […]

Indian scientists have developed a novel blood bag that uses a special polymer that detects damage-related molecular patterns in the blood. This extends the shelf life to 51 days and keeps one transfusion-friendly.

A novel blood bag, developed by Pravin Kumar Vemula and colleagues at the Bangalore-based Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (inStem), selectively interacts with damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), allowing blood cells and interaction.

inStem is an independent body in the biotechnology sector.
