Click on PDF to download from Part 3 2023: [10.23] The first successful transplant of a functional cryopreserved mammalian kidney was reported. The study demonstrated a "nano-warming" technique for vitrification for up-to-100 days preservation of transplant organs. Sourced from [frontiersin.org] titled: “Supercooling: a promising technique for prolonged preservation in solid organ transplantation, and early perspectives in vascularized composite allografts.” From the perspective of temperature, machine perfusion can be classified into four categories: HMP “hypothermic machine perfusion” (0°C to 12°C), MMP “mid-thermic machine perfusion” (13°C to 24°C), SNMP “subnormothermic machine perfusion” (25°C to 34°C), and NMP “normothermic machine perfusion” (35°C to 38°C). As metabolic activity increases exponentially with increasing temperature, the required amount of oxy...

Plants need water, nutrients from soil and sunlight photosynthesis to produce internal food, sugar energy to power the growth in flowering, fruiting and leafy foliage. Accordingly, fruits have a sweet taste in the mix in bearings. Plants thriving in the wildforest, grown in the garden, and planted in the pots, have different growth. Plants in the wild and gardening absorb sufficient sunlight for natural growth. So can plants live without light? In the wild forest canopy ecosystem, taller trees block sunlight from penetration to the floor habitats, yet certain floor-based plants can adapt to the low light, or partial light while in flourishments. Indoor plants or houseplants are plants we grow inside the house or building in part of decorative ornamental or air purification. Why don't we question "why indoor plants can live inside the house or building"? This doubt i...
