    The quest to keep organs alive outside the body

    Researchers have successfully preserved pig kidneys at −4 °C for days using supercooling and later reimplanted them. This advancement, part of a broader effort to extend organ viability, aims to address donor shortages by enabling longer storage and better matching. Cryopreservation challenges persist due to ice crystal damage, though some studies show potential for preserving brain tissue.
