Dead Pig Organs Revived After Hours

While the scientific world continues to work on pig organs in order to speed up organ transplantation in humans and turn it into a more accessible process, another first has been achieved recently. The new research, published in the journal Nature, that dead pig organs are brought back to life revealed.

According to the shared information, dead cells in pig organs are removed thanks to a newly developed technology. one hour after death revived again. The technology that drives the new feat is derived from BrainEx technology that previously brought pig brains back to life hours later. OrganEx was technology.

How does the new technology work?

In the new OrganEx system, scientists first connect the machine in the system to the living thing’s circulatory system. Machine, creates a pulse-like heartbeat and in this way, it provides oxygenation of cells. After that, the living synthetic fluid mixed with own blood being pumped. This fluid, unlike blood, is not made up of cells, but is designed to protect cells from damage and to carry oxygen and drugs throughout the body.

The scientists tested the new system 1 hour after the pigs’ heart stopped, just after the blood flow was cut off. From system development to testing a total of 100 pigs were used announced. The system allowed to preserve tissue of organs in pigs, reduce cell death and maintain certain molecular and cellular processes in vital organs such as heart, brain, liver and kidneys.

An interesting thing happened:

The scientists also tested whether OrganEx could work in rejuvenating the brain. In the group in which the OrganEx system was tested even though he was brain deadby injecting the fluid into the body physical mobility observed in the head and neck. The scientists reported that this condition, which was only seen in the OrganEx group, requires further investigation of the re-activation of motor functions.

So what will the new discovery do?

Human testing of the new system isn’t going to happen anytime soon. But according to scientists, OrganEx will hold great potential for human organ transplantation. The system will allow organs to be transported over longer distances to recipients in need, and will extend the time that the organ can be preserved during the transplant process.

In addition, it will protect the organs of individuals who lost their lives due to reasons such as heart attack, drowning and heavy blood loss. People can be brought back to life hours after their death.
