Research on pigs shakes up what we know about dying – and offers transplant hope

Description

In the Netherlands, University Medical Centre Groningen’s Dr Robert J. Porte said, in an article published alongside the study, that the research has the potential to lead to new treatment strategies for people who have a heart attack or stroke.

“One could imagine that the OrganEx system (or components thereof) might be used to treat such people in an emergency,” Porte, who also was not involved in the research, said.
