Big picture
| Time period | Development summary |
|---|---|
| 17th century | "In the 17th century, Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, using a primitive, single-lens microscope, observed red blood cells (erythrocytes) and compared their size with that of a grain of sand"[1] |
| 18th century | "In the 18th century English physiologist William Hewson amplified the description of red cells and demonstrated the role of fibrin in the clotting (coagulation) of blood."[1] |
| 19th century | " Bone marrow was recognized as the site of blood-cell formation in the 19th century, along with the first clinical descriptions of pernicious anemia, leukemia, and a number of other disorders of the blood."[1] |
| 20th century | "The discovery of the ABO blood group system in the first quarter of the 20th century made possible the transfusion of blood from one person to another without the serious ill effects that ensue when incompatible blood is given. The study of the blood disease anemia gained impetus from the introduction of the hematocrit, an apparatus for determining the volume of red blood cells as compared with the volume of plasma, and the introduction in 1932 of a simple method of measuring the volume and hemoglobin"[1] |

| Year | Event type | Details | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3255 BC | "The oldest intact red blood cells ever discovered were found in Ötzi the Iceman, a natural mummy of a man who died around 3255 BCE. These cells were discovered in May 2012." | ||
| 1616 | "After William Harvey discovered blood pathways in 1616, many people tried to use fluids such as beer, urine, milk, and non-human animal blood as blood substitute."[2] | ||
| 1658 | "The first person to describe red blood cells was the young Dutch biologist Jan Swammerdam, who had used an early microscope in 1658 to study the blood of a frog" | ||
| 1674 | "Unaware of this work, Anton van Leeuwenhoek provided another microscopic description in 1674, this time providing a more precise description of red blood cells, even approximating their size, "25,000 times smaller than a fine grain of sand"." | ||
| 1901 | "Karl Landsteiner and his associates define the different blood groups: A, B, AB, and O."[3] | ||
| 1914 | "Richard Lewisohn discovers how sodium citrate can be used to store blood."[3] | ||
| 1920 | "About 1920 the investigation of the role of food substances in the production of red blood cells led to discovery of the beneficial effects of liver extract in treating pernicious anemia and ultimately to the discovery of vitamin B12, the anti-anemic principle of liver. "[1] | ||
| 1932 | " introduction in 1932 of a simple method of measuring the volume and hemoglobin "[1] | ||
| 1936 | "The first blood bank opens in Chicago."[3] | United States | |
| 1959 | "In 1959, by use of X-ray crystallography, Dr. Max Perutz was able to unravel the structure of hemoglobin, the red blood cell protein that carries oxygen" | ||
| 1961 | "The role of platelets in treating cancer patients is identified."[3] | ||
| 1971 | "Healthcare professionals in the United States start testing blood for Hepatitis B."[3] | United States | |
| 1983 | " Doctors in France and the United States discover the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)."[3] | United States, France | |
| 1987 | "The Food and Drug Administration approves the use of azidothymidine (AZT) to treat HIV."[3] | ||
| 1990s | "Recombinant factor replacement products are used to treat hemophilia."[3] |
