Organ health and well-being are fundamental for vitality, wellbeing and quality of life. The damage of organs by infection, inflammation, cancer, acute or chronic injury and aging is lowering quality of life and represents the number one cause of death. Organ function can be supported or replaced by mechanical devices, such as dialysis or heart assist devices. However, these devices are good for short-term but not suitable for a long-lasting replacement of organs. Organ transplantation is an option, but limited by the low number of available organs. A novel technology is currently emerging and we believe that is has the potential to change that.
