Hypothermic preservation is a technique used to extend the viability of biological tissues and organs by cooling them to low temperatures. This process slows down metabolic activity, reducing the need for oxygen and delaying cellular damage. It is commonly applied in organ transplantation, where organs are preserved before being transplanted into patients. The method involves maintaining the temperature of the tissues between 0°C and 10°C, which helps to prevent ice formation and cellular injury. Researchers are continually exploring advancements in hypothermic preservation to improve outcomes in medical procedures, particularly in relation to organ transplantation and tissue engineering.
