Resumen de Longer-lasting organs.
The article discusses a report in the July 2014 issue of the journal "Nature Medicine" on a method for storing organs that improves preservation times developed by Korkut Uygun and colleagues at Harvard Medical School. Topics include the supply and demand of livers for transplant, the team's use of a specialized machine to create a chemical buffer around the cells of rat livers which they then supercooled and transplanted into rats, and supercooling to support organs-on-a-chip research.
