Researchers discover how to convert types A and B blood into O
Editor's Note
A team of researchers from the University of British Columbia used enzymes from bacteria in the human gut to remove antigens from AB, A, and B blood, which effectively turns the blood into universal donor type O, according to the August 21 bigthink.com.
The team reported their findings at the National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society in Boston. The researchers hope to continue studying their approach to blood type conversion in clinical trials.
