Vitrification technology enables human organ restoration
Researchers restored kidney function after vitrification using iron oxide nanoparticles, successfully transplanted and retransplanted them into a recipient.
- Field
- ageing and longevity
- What they did
- Researchers demonstrated that pig kidneys, cooled using iron oxide nanoparticles and cryoprotectants, remained functional after vitrification, rewarming, and transplantation.
- Why it matters
- This result is significant for the organ transplant industry and could increase credibility and funding for cryonics, the preservation of people for future revival.
