According to CNN reports on August 3, the research team at Yale University in the United States said that they could restore its blood circulation and other cell functions after 1 hour of death. With the development of technology, the preservation time of the human organs one day can also be extended to help more people accept organ transplantation.

It is reported that the research team of Yale University has developed a system called Organex. The system can allow oxygen to circulate in the body of dead pigs, so that after the pig's heart stops, some cells and organs can continue to survive.

Experts dominated by the study said this means that cell death can be prevented, and even after 1 hour of death, their functions can be recovered in many important organs.

Can this research technology be applied to humans? It is reported that in the future, it may be applied to the time window for extending organ transplants. Stephen Lesham, director of the interdisciplinary biological ethics center of Yale Medical College, who participated in this research, said that taking off the organ from the late donor and received it on the system, may Vitality, there is enough time to transport it to the transplant.

However, researchers also made it clear that the study did not show that he could let pigs live back, and could not even say that the life of a single organ was restored. At present, more studies need to be done to understand whether organs that have been extended by the ORGANEX system can still be used for transplantation.

Researchers at the Medical Center of the University of Grogonen University in the Netherlands issued a statement saying that the ORGANEX system may still be used in the future to treat patients or stroke patients in the treatment of heart disease in emergencies.

In this regard, Stephen Lesham believes that this possibility is "quite far away." He believes that the greater possibility of this technology in the short term is to prolong the preservation of the transplanted organs.
