Hemoglobin as oxygen carrier in cell-free fluids.
The University of Maryland is studying the oxygen needs of internal organs and how these needs can be met by oxygen carriers in cell-free fluids. Once developed, cell-free oxygen carriers will have a large variety of applications including hemodilution, transfusion therapy, organ preservation, and cancer therapy.
