The author described the preprint as a major step towards organ cryopreservation, saying it reported functional recovery in human-scale pig kidneys after vitrification and storage at −150°C for up to a year. The author added that the kidneys showed vascular, metabolic and excretory function and produced urine.
A research team from Texas A&M University, led by Dr. Matthew Powell-Palm, has made significant advancements in the cryopreservation of organs for transplantation by demonstrating that adjusting the cooling temperature during the vitrification process can reduce the risk of fractures, potentially allowing for safer long-term storage of organs and benefiting various fields beyond transplantation, including wildlife conservation and food storage. #Cryopreservation #OrganTransplantation #Vitrification #Nohaymencionesespecíficasdepaísesenelartículoproporcionado.
