What Have Scientists Done Over the Past Century to "Time Travel" into the Future with a Single Sleep?

2024/10/12

Remember Captain America's century-spanning frozen wake-up in "The Avengers"? In reality, although we cannot replicate such a heroic legend, the scientific community is quietly unveiling the secrets of pausing life at an astonishing pace, exploring the infinite possibilities of the future.

World's first! "Pig liver" successfully transplanted into the human body

2024/03/22

On March 10, led by Academician Dou Kefeng of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Director Tao Kaishan from Hepatological Surgery Department, Xijing Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University made a major breakthrough in the clinical research of liver heterotransplantation: the whole liver of a multi-gene edited pig was successfully transplanted into a brain-dead patient using the auxiliary liver transplantation method. During the operation, the transplanted liver secreted bile immediately after blood flow was restored with no hyperacute rejection, and functioned continuously for more than 96 hours.

Heavyweight! Prof. Gang Zhao, the main committee member of Yinfeng Cryomedicine Specialized Committee, published another article "Advanced Cryopreservation Engineering Strategies - A Critical Step in Utilizing Stem Cell Products".

Cryopreservation is known as the technique of solidifying time, by cooling biological materials (e.g. cells, tissues and organs) to low temperatures with the addition of cryoprotectants (generally -196°C liquid nitrogen preservation), and then rewarming them to normal temperatures (37°C) in an effective manner when needed, at which time the biological samples can still be restored and maintain their activity.

New Breakthroughs! New explorations in skin cryopreservation to help new advances in cryogenic research

The human body is an organic organism composed of cells and complex tissues and organs. When the tissues and organs in the body are damaged or lose their original functions, tissue and organ transplantation can replace the damaged or dysfunctional parts by implanting a part of the tissues and organs from the own body or other individuals.

Failure is the mother of success! The world's first pig heart-to-human transplant experience brings us one step closer to success

The death of the world's first pig heart transplant recipient is extremely regrettable, and people are full of questions about the cause of his death. According to a report on the University of Maryland website on June 30, the famous medical journal "The Lancet" published a study that revealed the possible reasons for the failure of the world's first genetically modified pig heart transplant.

Sleeping in the frozen soil for 46,000 years! This creature was resurrected by scientists

According to a paper in the latest issue of PLoS Genetics, a small group of nematodes taken from Siberian permafrost "came back to life" after being thawed, and although they only continued to survive for less than a month, they reproduced More than 100 generations of new nematodes were produced. These nematodes are about 46,000 years old, the same age as the woolly mammoth.

Is it possible to realize the human hibernation technology in "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth 2"?

"The Wandering Earth 2" is a hit, and when it comes to The Wandering Earth, we have to mention "The Three-Body Problem", which won the Hugo Award. Not long ago, the TV series "The Three-Body Problem" represented Chinese science fiction going abroad. In just a few months, it received a high score of 8.0 on IMDB. We have to say that "The Three-Body Problem" is a very good TV series.

Heavy! Professor Zhao Gang, chairman of our special committee, jointly published an important article - "Principles and Progress of Cell Cryopreservation"

In recent years, low-temperature biomedicine, a less popular subject, is attracting more and more attention, attracting more and more scientists to join it. Among them, the cryopreservation technology of cells, tissues and organs, and even the entire human body continues to make progress and is gradually used in clinical applications.

"Cell glue" helps regenerate tissue and heal wounds | An important step towards building tissues and organs

According to new research published in the journal Nature, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, have designed a molecule similar to "cell glue" that allows them to precisely instruct cells to bond with each other. The achievement marks an important step toward building tissues and organs, a long-sought goal of regenerative medicine.
