GBH Forum Network | Frozen in Time: Preserving for Later Revival @GBHForumNetwork | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Advances in the preservation of tissues, organs, sperm/eggs are revolutionizing medicine. Mehmet Toner is an international pioneer in this field. He describes the significance of the preservation-revival research, the different methods, and how the new breakthroughs will save lives and restore damaged tissue. Methods include specialized forms of supercooling and drying. Some of the models for these developments come from nature: organisms that transition to frozen or dehydrated states for extremely long periods –and then revive.
Mehmet Toner is a member of the Senior Scientific Staff at the Shriners Hospital for Children. He is a co-founder of the Center for Engineering in Medicine, and founder of the NIH BioMicroElectroMechanical Systems (BioMEMS) Resource Center at the Mass General. In addition, he is Director of the Biomedical Engineering Research and Education Program for physicians at Mass General.
