Forskare vid Lunds universitet och DTU i Köpenhamn har upptäckt enzymer i tjocktarmen som, när de blandas med röda blodkroppar, kan klippa bort delar av de kolhydrater som skiljer våra ABO-blodgrupper från varandra. Metoden tar oss närmare drömmen om ett universalblod för alla. Sedan länge är det känt att blod från olika individer inte kan blandas hur som helst utan risk för allvarliga konsekvense

In physics and chemistry, such phase transitions can be observed and predicted, but the larger the context, the harder it becomes—and the more is
