End-stage liver diseases are nowadays effectively treated by transplantation of the affected
liver. The transplantation procedure includes procurement of the liver from the donor and …

The utilization of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) may be an effective strategy to
resuscitate livers from donation after circulatory death (DCD). There is no consensus …

Conventional static cold storage (SCS) exacerbates ischemic injury in the DCD liver, leading
to severe complications for transplant recipients. To address this issue, clinical application of …

The growing demand for donor organs requires measures to expand donor pool. Those
