OrganOx raises $142 million to help liver transplants

OrganOx, a British developer of technologies to maintain organs for transplant, raised $142m in primary and secondary funding led by HealthQuest Capital.

Why it matters: OrganOx says that its solution — which has approval in the U.S. and Europe — can preserve donor livers for up to 24 hours, or around double the preservation time of traditional cold storage.
