Hyperbranched polyglycerol as a colloid in cold organ preservation solutions. [PDF]
Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is a common colloid in organ preservation solutions, such as in University of Wisconsin (UW) solution, for preventing graft interstitial edema and cell swelling during cold preservation of donor organs.

A prospective, randomized, single-blind, multicentre, phase III study on organ preservation with Custodiol-N solution compared with Custodiol® solution in organ transplantation (kidney, liver and pancreas) [PDF]
Background Organ preservation before transplantation is still a challenge. Both the University of Wisconsin and Bretschneider’s histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK; Custodiol®) solution are standard for liver, kidney and pancreas preservation.

Original and generic preservation solutions in organ transplantation. A new paradigm? [PDF]
Solid organ transplantation is a very complex process, in which the storage of the graft in a preservation solution is mandatory in order to extend ischemic times and contain further damage.

Tips for optimizing organ preservation solutions
Organ injury during ischemia is one of the clinical problems of today's transplantation. It occurs during warm ischemia time (WIT) when the blood flow is cut off and during cold ischemia when a graft is chilled in situ until the circulation is restored to the recipient organism.

Organ preservation using a photosynthetic solution [PDF]
Abstract Background Organs harvested from a body lapsing into circulatory deficit are exposed to low O2/high CO2, and reach a critical point where original functionality after transplantation is unlikely. The present study evaluates the effect of respiratory assistance using Chlorella photosynthesis on preservation of
