Tips for optimizing organ preservation solutions

Acta Biochimica Polonica, 2018
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.

Melatonin in preservation solutions prevents ischemic injury in rat kidneys.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Transplantation is lifesaving and the most effective treatment for end-stage organ failure. The transplantation success depends on the functional preservation of organs prior to transplantation.

Development of a Novel Perfusable Solution for ex vivo Preservation: Towards Photosynthetic Oxygenation for Organ Transplantation

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Oxygen is the key molecule for aerobic metabolism, but no animal cells can produce it, creating an extreme dependency on external supply. In contrast, microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms, therefore, they are able to produce oxygen as plant cells

New solutions in organ preservation

Transplantation Reviews, 2002
Over the last 20 years, a number of methods and solutions have been developed to preserve donor organs for transplantation. Collins et al first introduced the simple cold-storage technique to store and transport kidneys up to 30 hours. The development of the University of Wisconsin cold-storage solution (UW-CSS) in 1986 improved organ preservation and ...

Revolutionizing deceased donor transplantation: How new approaches to machine perfusion broadens the horizon for organ donation

Transplantation Reports
Solid organ transplantation is lifesaving for persons with end-stage organ disease. Thanks to advancements in organ preservation, surgeons are now able to successfully transplant organs that were previously considered high risk for poor graft function ...

Contamination of the Preservation Solution in Solid Organ Transplantation

Transplantation Proceedings, 2019
Preservation solutions (PS), in which grafts for patients undergoing liver transplantation are stored, represent a medium suitable for microorganism growth and a potential source for transmission of pathogenic germs to the transplant recipients. The aim of the present study was to review the relevant literature for the incidence and predictors of ...
