✦AI Summary
Researchers have successfully transplanted supercooled pig kidneys after storing them at subzero temperatures without ice formation. This breakthrough could significantly extend the shelf life of donor organs and help address the critical shortage of transplantable kidneys.
Kidneys kept at subzero temperatures in pressure-controlled containers can be stored for days before transplantation, raising hopes for longer-term storage of donated human organs.
