Stopping dying cells from rupturing could help donor livers withstand transplantation
During transplantation, blood flow to the donor liver must stop as it's moved to the recipient. Once transplanted, oxygen-rich blood is restored, yet doing so can cause what is called ischemia-reperfusion injury. To protect transplanted livers from this tissue damage, researchers at The Hospital for
