|
Blood banks have long known about high-quality donors ? individuals whose red blood cells stay viable for longer in storage and in the recipient?s body. Now a new device developed at UBC is showing promise as a method to identify these ?super donors?, potentially helping more than 4.5 million patients who need blood transfusions every […]
