Pig brains partially revived four hours after death
bbc.com- In a new and ethically questionable experiment, scientists were able to temporarily preserve basic cell function in dead pig brains.
- It involved 32 pig brains, connected to a special system 4 hours after being collected from the slaughterhouse.
- For 6 hours, the system pumped a liquid designed to slow or reverse the death of brain cells.
- The main finding is that cell death in the brain takes longer than scientists previously thought.
- Death is a gradual process, and some parts of it can be postponed, preserved, or even reversed.
