Freeze-drying, also known as lyophilization, is a process in which water in the form of ice
under low pressure is removed from a material by sublimation. This process has found many …

Ferroptosis is a type of regulated cell death characterized by an excessive lipid peroxidation
of cellular membranes caused by the disruption of the antioxidant defense system and/or an …

The ability to preserve metabolically active livers ex vivo for 1 week or more could allow
repair of poor-quality livers that would otherwise be declined for transplantation. Current …

Banking cryopreserved organs could transform transplantation into a planned procedure
that more equitably reaches patients regardless of geographical and time constraints …

The impact of tissue engineering has extended beyond a traditional focus in medicine to the
rapidly growing realm of biohybrid robotics. Leveraging living actuators as functional …

A short period (1–2 h) of hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) after static
cold storage is safe and reduces ischemia‐reperfusion injury‐related complications after …

The limited preservation duration of organs has contributed to the shortage of organs for
transplantation. Recently, a tripling of the storage duration was achieved with supercooling …

The shortage of donor livers considered suitable for transplantation has driven the
development of novel methods for organ preservation and reconditioning. Machine …

Thanks to the development of new, more potent and selective immunosuppressive drugs
together with advances in surgical techniques, organ transplantation has emerged from an …

Vitrification can dramatically increase the storage of viable biomaterials in the cryogenic
state for years. Unfortunately, vitrified systems≥ 3 mL like large tissues and organs, cannot …
