The present invention provides methods, compositions, and articles of manufacture comprising adenosine, an adenosine derivative or analog, an adenosine receptor agonist, a chemical entity that is taken up by a nucleoside transporter, or a chemical entity that binds to and/or modulates a nucleoside transporter, which protect biological material from cellular or tissue damage resulting from ischemia or hypoxia, including ischemia and hypoxia due to injury, disease, or hemorrhaging. These methods, compositions, and articles of manufacture also enhance the survivability of biological material subjected to ischemia due to injury, disease, or hemorrhage.
