Scientists Use Magnetic Nanotech to Safely Rewarm Frozen Tissues for Transplant
Researchers have developed a magnetic nanotechnology approach to safely rewarm frozen tissues, which could improve organ transplant preservation. This "nanowarming" technique uses magnetic nanoparticles and alternating magnetic fields to evenly reheat tissues without damaging them, reducing risks from ice formation. Successfully tested on animal tissues, this method brings organ cryopreservation closer to practical application, potentially increasing the availability of life-saving transplants in the future.
