Scientists reanimate dead cells in pigs, a potential breakthrough for organ transplants
The new research challenges the idea that the beginning of cell death is irreversible, though bioethicists say it also poses significant questions.
Researchers at Yale University used a new technology to restore cells in some organs of pigs that had just died, bringing the animals’ cells back to function. The findings, which were published Wednesday in the scientific journal Nature, raise profound ethical questions about how medicine defines death but also teases new possibilities for the collection of human organs for transplant.
