"First Recipient of Pig Kidney Transplant Discharged from Hospital"
Richard Slayman, the first person to receive a genetically edited pig kidney, has been discharged from the hospital after the groundbreaking procedure. His medical team is now focused on ensuring the transplanted organ keeps working, as they monitor for signs of rejection and administer immunosuppressive drugs. Slayman's recovery at home will involve frequent medical visits and experimental drug treatment. The success of this procedure could offer hope for patients with end-stage kidney disease who face long waits for human donor organs.
