Researchers have developed a novel device capable of supercooling pig kidneys to -4°C without ice formation, a significant advancement over traditional ice preservation. These supercooled kidneys, stored for days, demonstrated successful transplantation and better outcomes compared to those kept on ice. This breakthrough offers hope for extending the viability of donated human organs, potentially alleviating the critical shortage of transplantable kidneys. AI
