A comprehensive proteomic and transcriptomic mapping study found porcine and human kidneys exhibit a profoundly altered biological profile during warm ex vivo perfusion

Key takeaways

This research mapped the biological changes in pig kidneys while they were kept alive on a machine. This technique is used to preserve organs before transplant. The study aims to understand how the organ functions outside the body, but it does not report clinical results for patients yet.
