Medical breakthrough in Liver Transplants

A new machine keeps livers alive outside the body, potentially increasing transplant success rates. It mimics human body functions, maintaining the liver's viability for up to 24 hours. This technology could reduce waiting times and deaths on transplant lists. More trials are needed, but it holds promise for other organs, offering hope for patients like Keane, who had a life-changing operation.
