"Breakthrough: Successful Multi-Gene-Edited Pig Kidney Transplant in Human"

Chinese scientists have achieved another milestone in pig organ transplants by successfully transplanting a pig's kidney with multiple gene edits into a brain-dead human recipient, following their recent world's first pig liver transplant on a human. The transplanted kidney has been functioning well for 13 days, offering hope for end-stage kidney disease patients. The use of pig organs, with gene editing to reduce rejection risk, could provide a solution to organ shortages and help patients waiting for human donors. This breakthrough in xenogenic organ transplantation may pave the way for life-saving operations for millions of people.
