Artificial blood has been a holy grail of medicine. This will be a vast and potent change to medicine if it is proven successful in further trials.

We need facts as never before.

3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline.

Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding.

Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦
