How did they manage to pull that off? I'd think drying out the blood would not be a truly reversible process, because the cells would die. Thus resulting in you getting a glorified vitamin shot. Did they find that red blood cells have some protective state like certain bacteria, they can take advantage of for storage?
Without that I can't see how this would work as advertised, but then biology isn't my area of expertise. They seem to be talking about a cooling process, but just how is that supposed to work with what they're talking about? Controlling ice propogation to better accomplish the freezing is nice and all but they're talking about powdered blood, not a longer life storage technique with full blown cooling system. Not to mention there's the problem of defrost, which I'm pretty sure hasn't been quite hammered out yet.
It could just be usual reporter missing the ball, but I think they're taking someone for a ride personally. It'd be a great and wonderful thing if they pulled it off, but I just can't see how A will allow B to really work.
