Have there been any new developments since the rabbit kidney?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryopreservation#Vitrification

"Mixtures of cryoprotectants and the use of ice blockers have enabled the 21st Century Medicine company to vitrify a rabbit kidney to −135 °C with their proprietary vitrification mixture. Upon rewarming, the kidney was transplanted successfully into a rabbit, with complete functionality and viability, able to sustain the rabbit indefinitely as the sole functioning kidney."

EDIT: I will pull the PDF for the book later today.
