Immortality: Can science reverse death?
from The Lab DoctoRs Hosted by The Lab DoctoRs
Are scientists close to achieving immortality? Recent studies in pigs described the revival of major organs after death using the breakthrough technology known as OrganEx. This technology involves a machine that pumps synthetic, enriched blood around the body that resulted in some restoration of function in these organs up to an hour after the heart stopped beating. Tune in to find out how the current developments can be used to preserve transplant organs and prolong the window for treatment of patients who have suffered a heart attack. TLDR: Researchers managed to partially revive pig organs up to an hour after the animal’s heart stopped beating Links: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-62406350 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-02112-0 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01995-3 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-01216-4 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1099-1 Socials: instagram.com/thelabdoctors twitter.com/thelabdoctors Credit for theme music: Fresh Time by Roa https://soundcloud.com/roa_music1031 Email: [email protected]
