[QUOTE="JediMatt1000, post: 1681, member: 48"] [SIZE=3][FONT=courier new]USA – EXAMINERS at Yale University employed a new method of science to resurrect cells in several organs of recently deceased pigs; bringing that mammal's cells back to standard capacity. The discovery was presented in “Nature,” a scientific journal. These findings take up some serious philosophical a[/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=courier new][SIZE=3]nd humane concerns about pharmaceutics illustrating the “end of life” but also bring to light the potential for selecting human organs for transplants. An assistant professor of bioethics at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Brenden Parent states that “My eyes went wide” the moment he had found out about the new report and goes on to say, “My brain went to all the crazy places we could go in 20 or 30 years.” Although Parent was not associated with the study, “Nature” had asked him to write an analysis talking about the ramifications of the new technology, according to NBC News. Although the groundwork is still in a preliminary phase; the experimental part is still a long way away from use in humans. Eventually, it could benefit to boost the lives of people whose hearts have stopped beating or have experienced a stroke. The applications of this could potentially switch the methods of how organs are collected for surgical operation and their accessibility to patients who require them. Ischemia is the process when the heart stops beating, blood flow is cut off from the body and the descent of biochemical events starts. Oxygen and nutrients are severed from tissues. Cells begin to die. It’s a way toward the final change that causes significant destruction that scientists have thought permanent. The results of the new study might seek to change that. A professor of neuroscience at Yale School of Medicine and the author of this report, Dr. Nenad Sestan said during a news conference, “The demise of cells can be halted,” Dr. Sestan goes on to say, “We restored some functions of cells across multiple organs that should have been dead.” As cited by NBC News. The investigators at Yale achieved this “tour de force” by building an arrangement of tubing, sensors, and pumps that link up to pig arteries. They also made a procedure combining 13 medical drugs that can be blended with blood and injected into the mammals' cardiovascular system. This study builds upon prior research at Yale, which showed some detriment to brain cells could be undone after blood flow was severed. Yale has filed a patent for the innovation but is readying its formalities and methods to be abundantly available for nonprofit and school use. This new system, called “OrganEX” was studied by causing heart attacks in pigs that had been put to sleep. The pigs had been deceased for 1 hour and the examiners had cooled their bodies and utilized neural inhibitors to guarantee the mammal did not recover awareness during the experiments that followed. At that point, the examiners applied “OrganEX.” The action was compared to “ECMO” a life-support technology hospitals use in which a machine oxygenates the blood and recirculates it throughout the body. According to NBC News. The pigs “OrganEX” were used on surprised scientists. During the experiment, the deceased pigs' heads and necks moved of their own volition. The mammals stayed under heavy anesthesia.[/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=courier new]Scientists see the “neck jerk” as a tell-tale sign some muscle ability was returned after death.[/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=courier new][SIZE=3]The “OrganEX” experiment was a single study completed in a laboratory setting in which scientists had complete control over the conditions of the pigs' death and treatments.
