Reflections on Current Status of Blood Transfusion Transplant Viral Safety in UK/Europe and on Novel Strategies for Enhancing Donors/Recipients Healthcare in Promising Era of Advanced Cell Therapy/Regenerative Medicine

In this report, a personal view is provided on the current achievements and challenges with unresolved issues regarding the viral and transfusion safety of blood in the UK and Europe. Advances in plasma fractionation processes and the use of alternative strategies to reshape treatment of bleeding disorders are also explored. The relationships between the cellular storage lesion and transfusion outcomes using newer tools such as -omics are explored. The use of some newer developments in the promising areas of diagnosis, development, and research [DDR] strategies for improving healthcare of both donors and recipients are discussed using the current transfusion transplant practices in the UK as an example.
