“This is the first time that anyone has been able to scale up to a larger biological system and demonstrate successful, fast, and uniform warming hundreds of degrees Celsius per minute of preserved tissue without damaging the tissue,” said John Bischof, a University of Minnesota mechanical and biomedical engineering professor and senior author of the study, in a news release.
Researchers have previously only been able to rewarm 1 mm of tissue and solution in the past. The new study has shown success in rewarming up to 50 mm, leaving researchers with the possibility of being able to heat up larger-scale organs, according to Bischof.
