Technology found to be able to keep heart, liver and kidney cells alive for HOURS after death

A new technology can keep organ cells alive for hours after the rest of the body dies in a breakthrough that experts hope can quell the dire need for more transplantable hearts, kidneys and livers.

Researchers at Yale University developed ‘OrganEx’ – an offshoot of the breakthrough ‘BrainEx’ technology designed by scientists at the New Haven, Connecticut school in 2019. The device delivers fluid containing compounds that boost cellular health and prevent inflammation into the organs – keeping them alive for up to six hours after the rest of the body dies.

This research was performed on pigs, but the team is hopeful that their experimental process will be effective on human organs as well. If so, it could significantly boost the supply of available hearts, kidneys and livers for…
