Reversible cryopreservation could soon «pause» biological time
Laura Deming, founder of biotech startup Until, discusses breakthroughs in reversible cryopreservation that could enable «pausing» biological time. The technology, starting with human organs, could revolutionize organ transplantation by removing time as a critical factor and opening the door to medical hibernation.
WHY IT MATTERS
This represents a significant step toward solving one of medicine's biggest bottlenecks – organ transplantations must be performed within a few hours. If reversible cryopreservation becomes operational, it would transform the entire logistics of transplant medicine and could give the field new avenues for treating aging.
