The team hooked up the animals’ circulatory system to OrganEx, a system that pumps a mixture of blood and a “perfusate” of fluid-borne nutrients around the body.

So this perfusate was optimized to control those things as well.

Inside, the fluid that is circulating is actually a one-to-one mixture of the animal’s endogenous blood and our perfusate.

Why didn’t you use the animal’s blood alone rather than combining it with perfusate?

ANDRIJEVIC: Then, once you restore the circulation, you can actually reach out to those organs with our perfusate, a specifically tailored drug cocktail that affects the cells and tells them, “Don’t die; there is hope.”
