Oxygenation by Intravascular Photosynthesis Reduces Kidney Damage During ex Vivo Preservation

Several clinical issues are associated with reduced oxygen delivery to tissues due to impaired vascular perfusion; moreover, organs procured for transplantation are subjected to severe hypoxia during preservation. Consequently, alternative tissue oxygenation is an active field in biomedical research where several innovative approaches have been recently proposed. Among these, intravascular photosynthesis represents a promising approach as it relies on the intrinsic capacity of certain microorgan...

Development of a Hibernation‐Inspired Preservation Strategy to Enhance the Clinical Translation of Photosynthetic Biomaterials

Photosynthetic biomaterials have emerged as a promising approach for delivering oxygen and other bioactive molecules in several biomedical applications. This technology is based on the use of standard biomaterials loaded with photosynthetic cells for the controlled release of oxygen at the target site. However, as well as for other cell-based approaches, a main drawback for their clinical translation is the low shelf-life of living materials. Here, the potential of inducing a dormant hibernation...
