Here's an article about some of the latest research going on at 21st Century
Medicine.

The article doesn't say too much new except:
"Company researchers have now tested a compound called M22 that was fatal
when added and removed at -22 C but nonfatal when perfused for 25 minutes
at -22 C and washed out simultaneously with warming.When kidneys perfused
with M22 at -22 C were further cooled to about -45 C, they all supported
life after transplantation."

Here is the abstract reported in the journal Cryobiology:
