Fatty and lean livers undergoing machine perfusion

Caption

These representative images of fatty and non-fatty (or lean) show human livers before and during machine perfusion. The graphs on the right demonstrate shifts in gene expression in fatty and lean livers, stratified by their viability (or function). The researchers found that fatty and lean livers with good function behave similarly during perfusion. Nonviable livers demonstrate delayed responses compared to the viable livers.
