      Heart Preserved Over 24 Hours: New Hope for Transplant Patients

      Groundbreaking research demonstrates a significant advancement in heart transplant preservation, enabling pig hearts to be kept alive for over 24 hours using normothermic ex-vivo heart perfusion (NEHP). This method, which maintains donor hearts in a near-physiological state, could revolutionize the transplantation field by extending the viability period far beyond the current six-hour window.

      Brain Organoids Illuminate TBI’s Link to Neurodegeneration

      Researchers have advanced our understanding of how traumatic brain injuries (TBI) contribute to neurodegenerative diseases using lab-grown brain organoids. By simulating TBI in organoids derived from human stem cells, the team observed nerve cell death and pathological changes similar to those in TBI patients, particularly in proteins associated with ALS and dementia.
