Funded Activity Summary

Innovations from Nature to Heart Transplantation:a Real Heart Stopper Heart preservation is limited to 4-6 hours of cold-ischaemic storage (0 to 4 C). The risk of post-transplant death doubles if the donor heart is stored from 1 to 5 hours, and triples with 7 hrs storage times. We have developed a new preservation solution borrowing from natural hibernators that will permit organs to be safely stored for up to 15 hours, and offering new opportunities to organ donors and recipients worldwide.
