生物黑科技登場!美國 DARPA 啟動祕密計畫,要用紅血球改造士兵體能

Sep 16, 2025

生物黑科技登場!美國 DARPA 啟動祕密計畫,要用紅血球改造士兵體能 Now Translating... 美國國防部的高級研究機構 DARPA 最近宣布了一項名為「紅血球工廠」(Red Blood Cell Factory,RBC-Factory)的計畫,通稱「智慧紅血球」(Smart-RBC),旨在開發能夠增強士兵生理能力的生物工程紅血球。這項計畫的目的是為了提升人類的運動表現,包括加快恢復時間、提高對乳酸堆積的抵抗力、改善心血管健康等。 根據DARPA的公告,這些智慧紅血球將被設計成具備新型生物活性組件,能夠安全且可靠地改變人體生理。未來,這些紅血球還可能提供士兵在極端環境下的溫度調節能力、提高高海拔適應能力,甚至創造出「通用血液」和「更具韌性的血液產品」。 該計畫的具體實施細節尚不明朗,DARPA並未對外透露太多資訊,但公告中提到,這些紅血球將包含額外的生物電路,這些電路能夠感知細胞外生物標記,並根據所獲得的資訊進行反應,透過創造效應分子來改變新陳代謝或生理狀態。 智慧紅血球計畫預計將持續36個月,分為兩個18個月的階段。第一階段將專注於工程化造血幹細胞,確保生物電路元件在分化過程中被生產和定位,並在成熟過程中保留這些部件。第二階段則將展示這些紅血球的功能性,並完成能力演示。 目前尚不清楚這些紅血球是否會涉及人體試驗,或是如何進行注射,以及DARPA是否預期這些增強效果是暫時的還是永久的。對於現有的士兵來說,他們仍需依賴自身的生理能力,無論這能力多麼有限。
