Researchers at Texas A&M University report that raising the glass-transition temperature of aqueous vitrification solutions can reduce thermal-stress cracking—one of the key barriers to long-term cryopreservation of larger tissues and, eventually, transplant organs.
A startup spun out of Meiji University announced plans for clinical trials of pig-to-human kidney transplants at two Japanese hospitals in 2028. The company aims to secure production and marketing authorization once safety is confirmed.
