Ischemia has been an inevitable event accompanying kidney transplantation. Ischemic
changes start with brain death, which is associated with severe hemodynamic disturbances …

Cell-based medicine has made great advances in clinical diagnosis and therapy for various
refractory diseases, inducing a growing demand for cell preservation as support technology …

Importance Ischemic cold storage (ICS) of livers for transplant is associated with serious
posttransplant complications and underuse of liver allografts. Objective To determine …

Background Static cold storage is generally used to preserve kidney allografts from

Hibernating mammals survive hypothermia (< 10° C) without injury, a remarkable feat of
cellular preservation that bears significance for potential medical applications. However …

Hibernating mammals offer an intriguing example of natural torpor and illustrate the
regulatory mechanisms that control metabolic rate depression and the cell preservation …

Solid organ transplantation was one of the greatest medical advances during the past few
decades. Organ preservation solutions have been applied to diminish ischemic/hypoxic …

Optimizing kidney preservation is a primary issue in transplantation, particularly in relation to
new donor sources, such as expanded criteria donors (ECDs) and donation after cardiac …

Static cold storage is the most prevalent method for renal allograft preservation. Several
solutions have been designed to counteract the detrimental effects of cold ischemia and …

Background. Major causes of death after heart transplantation are right ventricular pump
failure and, chronically, cardiac allograft vasculopathy. Traditional preservation techniques …
