"Back at the lab, they removed the brains from the pigs' heads and placed the isolated brains in an experimental chamber. The researchers hooked key blood vessels up to a device that pumped in a specially formulated chemical cocktail for six hours, starting about four hours after the pigs had been killed...We found that tissue and cellular structure is preserved and cell death is reduced. In addition, some molecular and cellular functions were restored."
