UofL researchers take flight, study way to rehydrate blood in space

UofL researchers take flight, study way to rehydrate blood in space

The UofL faculty have already discovered a way to, essentially, freeze dry then rehydrate blood on land. Their NASA-sponsored research is intended to find out if that dried blood can be rehydrated in a zero gravity environment, meaning astronauts embarking on years-long trips can receive emergency blood transfusions.
