Where this comes from

Abstract

Recently in Med, Pinezich et al. present a therapeutic and diagnostic ("theranostic") cross-circulation platform that enables prolonged, real-time rehabilitation of injured donor lungs ex vivo. Their approach integrating systemic support, advanced diagnostics, and targeted therapies promises to expand the donor lung pool and transform lung transplantation with personalized organ care.
