Deep-diving whales could hold answer for synthetic blood
Houston TX (SPX) Oct 02, 2015 - The ultra-stable properties of the proteins that allow deep-diving whales to remain active while holding their breath for up to two hours could help Rice University biochemist John Olson and his colleagues finish a 20-year quest to create lifesaving synthetic blood for human trauma patients.
