Transplanted organs experience several episodes of ischemia, in which cold ischemia occurs during allograft storage in preservation solutions.
Even though cold ischemia has been studied extensively, all of the studies have been carried out in vitro and ex vivo models. There is no in vivo model available to examine renal IRI induced solely by cold ischemia.
In the present study, we developed an in vivo mouse model to study renal IRI induced exclusively by cold ischemia through …
