- Preserved Kidneys Rewarmed and Transplanted in Rats ()
For the first time in history, scientists have been able to freeze, preserve, rewarm, and transplant rat kidneys with a new method of organ cryopreservation. The rewarming problem Today, organ transplantation is severely limited by the fact that organs can only be preserved for a short time in near-freezing temperatures. Long-term cryopreservation of organs could […]
- Microencapsulation and nanowarming enables vitrification cryopreservation of mouse preantral follicles ()
Conghui Tian, Lingxiao Shen, Chenjia Gong, Yunxia Cao, Qinghua Shi & Gang Zhao Abstract Preantral follicles are often used as models for cryopreservation and in vitro culture due to their easy availability. As a promising approach for mammalian fertility preservation, vitrification of preantral follicles requires high concentrations of highly toxic penetrating cryoprotective agents (up to […]
- Nanowarming and ice-free cryopreservation of large sized, intact porcine articular cartilage ()
Peng Chen, Shangping Wang, Zhenzhen Chen, Pengling Ren, R. Glenn Hepfer, Elizabeth D. Greene, Lia H. Campbell, Kristi L. Helke, Xingju Nie, Jens H. Jensen, Cherice Hill, Yongren Wu, Kelvin G. M. Brockbank & Hai Yao Abstract Successful organ or tissue long-term preservation would revolutionize biomedicine. Cartilage cryopreservation enables prolonged shelf life of articular cartilage, […]
- Nanowarming: A new concept in tissue and organ preservation ()
John Bischof (Director of Bioheat and Mass Transfer Lab at the University of Minnesota) Progress in cryopreservation by vitrification has brought us closer to an era in regenerative medicine marked by a strong supply chain of donor and engineered tissues and organs for transplantation and use. But as of now, even perfectly vitrified large tissues […]
