Normothermic ex vivo heart perfusion with NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor Mcc950 treatment improves cardiac function of circulatory death hearts after transplantation
BackgroundThe utilization of donation after circulatory death (DCD) hearts can enlarge the donor pool. However, DCD hearts suffer from serious ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). Recent studies found that the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome could play a significant role in organ IRI. Mcc950, which i...
