“The essence of the technology is that they get lyophilized plasma, which can be carried with you in a special bag in an individual first-aid kit of a fighter,” he told RIA Novosti.

When wounded, a soldier can remove the package, dilute the dry plasma with a special solution - in five minutes the restored plasma will be ready for transfusion.

According to Butrimov, work on the innovation began two years ago, and now it is ready for testing. 

Earlier, Russian scientists as part of an international research group uncovered the molecular mechanism that triggers the repair of the DNA strand responsible for cell division.
