Abstract: Methods and compositions for resuscitating, storing, and preserving functional integrity of organs and tissues. Metabolic function is maintained by sustaining ATP levels, mitochondrial function, cardiomyocyte contractility, prevention of acidosis, inhibition of induction of apoptosis, maintaining ionontrophy and lusiotrophy by regulating calcium, sodium, potassium and chloride ions.

Abstract: Provided herein, inter alia, are methods and compositions for resuscitating, storing, and preserving the functional integrity of organs and tissues at ambient temperatures for up to 24 hours. Metabolic function is maintained by sustaining ATP levels, mitochondrial function, prevention of edema, and by regulating calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride ions.

Abstract: Provided herein, inter alia, are compositions and methods for preserving platelets in a lesion-free and functional state during extended storage periods of up to 15 days as well as methods and kits for utilizing the same. In contrast to currently available compositions and techniques for preserving platelets, platelets stored in the compositions disclosed herein are characterized by a marked decrease in “storage-lesions,” which are associated with attenuated hemostatic function. During platelet storage, the compositions disclosed herein (1) maintain and/or restore platelet energy states and morphology; (2) maintain active metabolism and buffering; (3) preserve and/or promote nitric oxide production; and (4) prevent microparticle formation, aggregation and activation during storage. As such, long term preservation in the compositions described herein produce platelets that are fully functional and lesion-free.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for rejuvenating expired banked RBC making them eligible for transfusion (as well as extending the shelf life of a red blood cell) by contacting the cell with a composition comprising (or consisting of) a physiological salt solution and a compound that increases ATP and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG) and nitric oxide in the cell or a compound that preserves cell deformability.

Abstract: The invention relates to improved cardioplegia solutions. The invention provides cardioplegia solutions and compositions that produce a readily reversible, rapid electrochemical arrest with minimal tissue ischaemia. The cardioplegia solutions and compositions are used for arresting, protecting and/or preserving organs, in particular the heart during open-heart surgery, transplanting, cardiovascular diagnosis or therapeutic intervention.
