Solution

Over 6,000 people a year die in the U.S. waiting for an organ transplant. But a new research finding from Yale— that tissue death can be stopped and maybe even reversed—could dramatically enlarge the donor pool. Researchers infused pig cadavers with a blue solution of amino acids, vitamins, and other compounds (below) to restore function to organs hours after cardiac arrest. Next: transplanting rescued organs into pigs to assess function.
