Significant Achievements: Successfully Cultivated Human Heart in Pigs, Bringing New Hope for Organ Transplantation

2025/06/19

Recently, the world's top - tier academic journal Nature featured a major research achievement by Chinese scientists on its front - page headlines. For the first time, a heart containing human cells was cultivated in a pig embryo, and this heart could beat autonomously and survived for 21 days. This groundbreaking progress offers a brand - new solution to the global shortage of organ transplants and marks a new stage in the development of xenogeneic organ cultivation technology.

2025/02/07

Recently, the "2024 China/World Top Ten Scientific and Technological Advances" organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering was unveiled. In the list of the world's top ten scientific advancements, breakthroughs in cell and gene technologies stood out, including the first 3D-printed functional human brain tissue, CAR-T therapy, gene editing, Google's new quantum chip, super microscope, and more.

Milestone! World's First Ovarian Dual Activation Technology Assists Patients in Conception

2025/01/15

ecently, a major breakthrough in the field of reproductive health has garnered wide attention. The "ovarian dual activation" technology, collaboratively developed by the Yinfeng Life Sciences Research Institute (referred to as "Yinfeng Life Sciences") and the team of Professor Wang Huiying and Dr. Jin Bo from the Shenzhen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (referred to as "the hospital"), has achieved another milestone in cryobiomedical technology. Using methods of "cryopreservation + PFC", this technology has helped two patients achieve natural conception, providing new hope for women of childbearing age who are cancer patients, infertile, or of advanced maternal age.

Shandong Yinfeng Life Sciences Research Institute completed China’s first human body cryopreservation

In most people's minds, human cryopreservation is both mysterious and unfamiliar. In 2015, news that a female writer from Chongqing had her brain frozen at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation (Alcor) in the United States attracted great attention. This was also the first case of cryopreservation of human brains in China. Now, it is funded by the Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Charity Foundation.

Human tissue and organ cryopreservation technology

At normal temperature, isolated ischemic tissues and organs will die within a short period of time (from a few minutes to a few hours at most) and cannot be used for transplantation. It is impossible to complete the transplant operation in such a short period of time. Therefore, tissue and organ cryopreservation technology is needed to maintain their activity.

Cryoprotectant

Cryoprotectants are the basis for research on cryopreservation of various human cells, tissues, and organs. Since the discovery of the cryoprotective effect of glycerol in the 1960s, more than 50 drugs or reagents have been used for cryoprotection. In recent years, with the development of vitrification technology, in-depth research on cryoprotectants has attracted the attention of many researchers.

Cryogenic equipment

The relationship between the energy difference input to the sample under test and the reference substance and temperature (or time) can be measured through programmable temperature control. The application range is very wide, especially in the research and development, performance testing and quality control of materials, such as glass transition temperature, cold crystallization, phase transition, melting, crystallization, product stability, solidification/cross-linking, oxidation induction period and other research fields.
