A) Tissues are harvested from donor (B) Loaded in a container with a cryopreservant, vitrified, stored at ice-cold temperatures. It is rewarmed before being transplanted into the recipient (C) During convective warming, tissue is warmed un-uniformly (D) leading to possible organ damage. However, using inductive heating of nano particles (E), warming failure is avoided as it is warmed equally, resulting in (F) successful transplantation.
