Bone and cartilage grafts harvested from do**r tissue don’t survive for very long, with estimates that around*80% of tissue donated for joint repair is going to waste. Researchers at*University of Missouri School of Medicine have **w developed a new way to preserve such tissue for much longer than previously possible, doubling its lifetime and hopefully leading to a major reduction in the need for such tissue.

Currently, do**r tissue is preserved in refrigerators, floating within a special solution that keeps it viable for about a month. The Missouri Osteochondral Allograft Preservation System (MOPS) uses a new solution and specially designed containers to more than double this while **t requiring refrigeration, a**ther major benefit.

Here’s a video from University of Missouri explaining the new tech**logy:
