First thawed transplant success
Researchers have successfully transplanted ovaries that had been stored in liquid nitrogen from one female rat to another. Roger Gosden and colleagues at Notre-Dame Hospital in Montreal, Canada, are the first to demonstrate that entire organs can be safely [frozen,] stored and thawed.
This is a wonderful advance in cryopreservation - a real milestone. If human kidneys could be saved in this way, thousands of lives would be saved each year. Currently, many available kidneys cannot be used because a genetic match cannot be found in time.
