Scientists from the Russian city of Obninsk have developed a life-saving new blood substitute called "Krunidon", which has the potential to substitute any blood type, regardless of the rhesus factor. Blood transfusions can be complicated because some people's body reject blood from certain types, and not all blood types are always available on hand to help people in need. Scientists say Krunidon is completely free from infections typically found in human donor blood and can be used as a transfusion for any blood type. The substitute is capable of carrying oxygen to tissues and stimulating blood formation in case of blood loss or reduction of blood supply. The new substitute is going to be used in military medicine and is highly demanded by the Russian Ministry of Defence. The medicine is currently being tested according to the rigorous requirements of the Russian military and may become the standard by the end of 2017. Of course, Krunidon has many potential life-saving civilian applications as well.
