Usage Information
Abstract
Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has become a valuable tool to expand the pool of transplantable organs. However, the application of NMP to kidneys presents substantial challenges, mostly due to high variability in the composition of currently used perfusion solutions. Here, we provide a multimodal cross-species cellular atlas of kidney injury associated with NMP using a literature-based consensus buffer. This resource provided a systematic framework that was used to develop a metabolite-enhanced perfusion solution, which protected renal proximal tubular cells, improving cellular viability and transplantation outcomes across species, including human kidneys.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
