CareDx Inc. and Miromatrix Medical Inc. announced an exclusive partnership aimed at advancing the next wave of innovation using fully transplantable human bioengineered organs. CareDx will develop an innovative testing solution for Miromatrix to use in pre-clinical animal models and will be the exclusive provider of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) testing services for use in human clinical studies to non-invasively assess acute allograft rejection in Miromatrix's pipeline of human bioengineered organs. It is estimated that more than 100,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for an organ transplant,1 but only slightly more than half of them are expected to receive an organ within five years.2 It is estimated that 17 people die each day waiting for an organ transplant.
