X-Message-Number: 12687 From: Date: Mon, 1 Nov 1999 08:07:09 EST Subject: Organ vitrification @ UT Austin? I wonder if Ken Diller really achieved organ vitrification? ....Patients awaiting organ transplants will benefit from breakthroughs in organ freezing methods developed at UT Austin. Dr. Ken Diller, director of the Center of Biological and Medical Engineering, and his graduate students have frozen a portion of the human pancreas that produces insulin and provided it for successful transplantation. The transplantation allowed a patient formerly suffering from juvenile diabetes to live insulin-injection free.
