From: UW supplementation with AP39 improves liver viability following static cold storage
Hematoxylin and eosin staining reveals improved liver microstructure when stored with AP39: at the end of perfusion, biopsies were taken and formalin fixed, after which they were paraffin embedded and stained with (a) hematoxylin and eosin. Microscopic analysis reveals improved cellular morphology in SCS compared to SCS + AP39, with reduced cellular shrinking. Additionally, portal congestion was decreased in SCS + AP39, and endothelial structure was better maintained, showing a similar vascular pattern to Fresh. Asterisks denote statistical significance (ordinary one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons test) *0.01 < p < 0.05; **0.001 < p < 0.01; ***0.0001 < p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001. Boxes, median and interquartile range. Whiskers, 5th − 95th percentile.
