In a breakthrough study, researchers have managed to restore some brain function in pigs as long as four hours after death. Using a system that pumps preserving chemicals through the brain's ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new system that can restore crucial molecular and cellular functions in pigs one hour after death. Experiments showed that some tissue damage from loss of oxygen can be ...

April 17 (UPI) --Using a solution created to preserve brain tissue and an artificial circulatory system called BrainEx, scientists at the Yale School of Medicine were able to restore some basic ...

Dr. Nenad Sestan, senior author of the new study and a professor of neuroscience, noted that blood flow and some energy use could be seen in the dead brains, but the neural circuits showed no ...

For people who need a lung transplant, the wait is often prolonged by the frustrating fact that most donor organs have to be discarded: Only 20% of donated lungs meet medical criteria for ...

A new experiment has raised medical and ethical questions as serious as those surrounding human gene editing: A support system delivering artificial blood to pig brains prevented degradation of ...

Damaged lungs from a deceased donor are often too damaged to be transplanted into someone in need of the life-saving organ. But scientists have found a way to improve the state of lungs which are ...
