Ricerca, ripristinati organi un ora dopo la morte

Healthcare professionals have always taught in medical courses that cells, particularly those of the brain and heart, die within a few minutes in the absence of oxygen.

The journal Nature has published American research from Yale University that could change the future of medicine as we know it.

Imagine restoring a human heart or brain an hour after its death or repairing damage after a stroke, a heart attack, etc.

This is what a team of American scientists demonstrated with a new technology called OrganEx, an artificial perfusion system that not only reactivated dead organs and tissues of a pig but they managed to restore circulation throughout the body of the large mammal.

This technology could have numerous applications, not only in the regeneration of tissues, dead and damaged organs but it would also increase the availability of donors for organ transplantation.

The researchers confirmed that there is still much work to be done but they are optimistic, the time will not be so long before we can benefit from this new miracle of research.

Investing in research pays off (unlike weapons)
