Scientists have successfully transplanted a frozen pig's liver

The successful thawing and transplantation of pig liver allowed one step closer to the technology of liver transplantation in humans become, say Israeli researchers. Israeli scientists have used the method to preserve the slow freezing, which would damage the body without it. Experts suggest that may be the creation of a bank of frozen organs for transplantation may be an option. The results of the Israeli scientists published in the magazine New Scientist. British experts, further work is needed to prove the validity of this method. Also may not be suitable refrigerated bodies for the last 24 hours. Scientists are searching for ways to freeze organs without damaging them looking. The main problem in the frozen body is that in this case, the crystals which damage the body. Specialists used the slower freezing method, heat sink by 0.3 degrees Celsius per minute. This reduces the formation of crystals during freezing and it took about 1.5 hours. Experts carried out an experiment in the frozen pork liver and other animal transplanted after thawing. The liver was transplanted together with underlying liver. Two hours later, put a pig to sleep a transplanted liver, after which the liver is examined for signs of life. The researchers found that the transplanted liver recovers some signs of blood flow, and it produces a fluid, such as bile, indicating that. The recovery of some of their functions However, since the transplanted liver in tandem with the current work and was removed after a few hours, we can not sure if all the functions of the liver again tell her, and it was able to work independently, the expert said. For this reason, the researchers to conduct further experiments in this field.
