Can You Survive Organ Failure?

People can survive organ failure, a review explores how. Although organ failure can be fatal, your kidneys, heart, and liver are prepared for this catastrophe. Emerging research supports the finding that two cell populations quickly respond and work together to restore a non-functioning, or failing, organ. First, the surviving cells go into overdrive, working to keep the organ functioning while stem-like cells replace damaged tissue. A Review explores how this dual-response can save lives. Source 7u.

Failure Organ Survive Can
