Zebrafish as a High Throughput Model for Organ Preservation and Transplantation Research

Da Silveira Cavalcante et al., The FASEB Journal. 2023.

Organ transplantation increases the quality of life and life expectancy of patients with chronic end-stage diseases, but the preservation of organs for transplantation remains a significant barrier. In the current study, researchers demonstrate the value of zebrafish as a high-throughput model organism in the fields of solid-organ preservation and transplantation, with a focus on heart preservation via partial freezing. Their techniques have the potential to advance research in the fields of cryobiology and solid-organ transplantation. Supported by ORIP (R24OD031955) and NHLBI.
