DOI: 10.1111/ajt.16929
Abstract: Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is a novel clinical approach to overcome the limitations of traditional hypothermic organ preservation. NMP can be used to assess and recondition organs prior to transplant and is the subject of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1364/boe.10.001794
Abstract: Current measures for assessing the viability of donor kidneys are lacking. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can image subsurface tissue morphology to supplement current measures and potentially improve prediction of post-transplant function. OCT imaging was performed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1681/asn.2016010091
Abstract: Deceased donor kidneys with AKI are often discarded for fear of poor transplant outcomes. Donor biomarkers that predict post-transplant renal recovery could improve organ selection and reduce discard. We tested whether higher levels of donor… read more here.
