The method, rapid recovery with extended ultraoxygenated preservation, involves flushing the donor heart with a cold oxygenated preservation solution after death.

The research characterizes the molecular “cargo” of circulating extracellular vesicles in obesity and links the findings to human genetic approaches to identify potential therapeutic targets for metabolic disease.

Researchers will scan the landscape of plasmablasts, the first antibody-producing, B-type immune cells that respond to MMR infection.

A new study identified a safe and effective fluorescent imaging agent that can assist surgeons in visualizing — and therefore protecting — nerves during surgery.

These advances include emerging techniques of rehabilitating organs that would once have been discarded as unusable.
